What this return means
Buying Disney (DIS) in 2023 cost you money. That stake is worth $960 as of 2026-06-01, a -4.0% move that left you with less than you started with after 3.5 years.
That averages out to -1.2% a year, meaning the position shrank in compound terms across the 3.5-year window. By comparison the S&P 500 returned about $1,942 on the same stake, edging out Disney by close to $982. The index compounded at about 20.9% a year, a reminder that a single stock can lag a basket of them.
The path was not smooth. The best single year was 2025 at +18.8%, and the worst was 2024 at -11.2%. These figures use split-adjusted closing prices and exclude dividends, taxes, trading fees, and inflation, so a real after-tax result would differ.
None of this is a recommendation. It is a record of what already happened, and past performance does not guarantee future results.
