What this return means

A $1,000 position in Nike (NKE) opened in 2000 is worth $10,940 today. That works out to +994.0%, about 11x the original stake, as of 2026-06-01.

That is about 9.4% a year compounded, broadly in line with long-run stock market averages. A plain S&P 500 fund would have turned that $1,000 into about $8,631 instead, leaving Nike ahead by around $2,310. The index compounded at about 8.5% a year over that period.

Getting here meant sitting through real volatility. The best single year was 2004 at +57.3%, and the worst was 2003 at -25.3%. At its lowest point the position was down about 56% 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.

None of this is a recommendation. It is a record of what already happened, and past performance does not guarantee future results.
