What this return means
Monster Beverage (MNST) is one of the biggest winners on the site. That is a +20,781% total return, or roughly 209x your money, measured through 2026-06-01.
In compound terms that is roughly 28.2% a year, well above what a broad index has historically returned. By comparison the S&P 500 returned about $9,466 on the same stake, putting Monster Beverage ahead by close to $199,339. The index compounded at about 11% a year over that period.
The path was not smooth. The best single year was 2006 at +329.3%, and the worst was 2019 at -16.1%. 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.
