Year-by-Year Returns
$1,000 invested in Intel starting January 2023
| Year | Price | Value | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | $27.25 | $1,000 | - |
| 2024 | $42.51 | $1,560 | +56% |

| 2026 | $46.47 | $1,705 | +139.2% |
What this return means
$1,000 invested in Intel (INTC) in 2023 is worth $5,124 today. That is a +412.4% gain, a little over 5.1x your money, measured to 2026-06-01.
That is a compound rate of about 57.8% a year, an extreme pace that few holdings sustain for 3.6 years. The same $1,000 in an S&P 500 index fund over the same span would be about $1,916, so Intel beat the index by roughly $3,208. The index compounded at about 19.9% a year over that period.
Getting here meant sitting through real volatility. The best single year was 2024 at +56.0%, and the worst was 2025 at -54.3%. At its lowest point the position was down about 54% 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 Intel 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
$19,043
+353.4% on $4,200 in
Same $4,200, all in at the start
$21,521
+412.4% on $4,200 in
Going all in at the start beat spreading the buys out by $2,478. 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 $30.80 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 INTC split-adjusted monthly closes through June 2026. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
