What this return means
$1,000 invested in Monster Beverage (MNST) in 2015 is worth $4,564 today. That is a +356.4% gain, a little over 4.6x your money, measured to 2026-06-01.
That is about 14.1% a year compounded, broadly in line with long-run stock market averages. A plain S&P 500 fund would have grown that $1,000 to about $4,581 instead, beating Monster Beverage by around $17. The index compounded at about 14.2% a year, a reminder that a single stock can lag a basket of them.
The year-by-year record shows how bumpy the ride was. The best single year was 2018 at +60.2%, 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.
