| 2024 | $25.85 | $1,021 | +2.1% |

What this return means
HP Inc (HPQ) is one of the losers in this dataset. That stake is worth $856 as of 2026-06-01, a -14.4% move that left you with less than you started with after 3.6 years.
That averages out to -4.2% a year, meaning the position shrank in compound terms across the 3.6-year window. The same $1,000 in an S&P 500 index fund would be about $1,916 over the identical span, so the index came out ahead by roughly $1,060. The index compounded at about 19.9% 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 +17.0%, and the worst was 2024 at +2.1%. At its lowest point the position was down about 38% from an earlier high. 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 HP Inc at the close of every month from January 2023 through June 2026 means 42 buys and $4,200 contributed over about 3.5 years.
$100/month, dollar-cost averaged
$3,554
-15.4% on $4,200 in
Same $4,200, all in at the start
$3,598
-14.3% on $4,200 in
Going all in at the start beat spreading the buys out by $43. 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 $25.62 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 HPQ split-adjusted monthly closes through June 2026. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
