What this return means
A $1,000 stake in GE Aerospace (GE) from 2020 has grown to $6,201. That is a +520.1% gain, a little over 6.2x your money, measured to 2026-06-01.
That is a compound rate of about 31.9% a year, an extreme pace that few holdings sustain for 6.6 years. By comparison the S&P 500 returned about $2,540 on the same stake, putting GE Aerospace ahead by close to $3,662. The index compounded at about 15.2% a year over that period.
The year-by-year record shows how bumpy the ride was. The best single year was 2025 at +93.9%, and the worst was 2021 at -13.8%. These figures use split-adjusted closing prices and exclude dividends, taxes, trading fees, and inflation, so a real after-tax result would differ.

What if you invested $100 a month instead?
Most people do not drop a lump sum in on day one. They add a fixed amount every month. Putting $100 into GE Aerospace at the close of every month from January 2020 through June 2026 means 78 buys and $7,800 contributed over about 6.5 years.
$100/month, dollar-cost averaged
$39,560
+407.2% on $7,800 in
Same $7,800, all in at the start
$48,375
+520.2% on $7,800 in
Going all in at the start beat spreading the buys out by $8,816. That is the usual result when a stock trends up: each monthly buy pays a higher price than the last, so the average cost climbs. Averaging in also meant an average buy price of $73.69 per share across the whole stretch, so the monthly buyer never had to time a single low. Neither number counts dividends, taxes, or trading costs.
Illustrative fixed $100/month example, not a recommendation. Figures are computed from GE split-adjusted monthly closes through June 2026. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
