What this return means
A $1,000 bet on Nike (NKE) at the start of 2020 did not work out. That stake is worth $521 as of 2026-06-01, a -47.9% move that left you with less than you started with after 6.5 years.
That averages out to -9.6% a year, meaning the position shrank in compound terms across the 6.5-year window. The same $1,000 in an S&P 500 index fund would be about $2,574 over the identical span, so the index came out ahead by roughly $2,053. The index compounded at about 15.7% a year, a reminder that a single stock can lag a basket of them.
Getting here meant sitting through real volatility. The best single year was 2021 at +40.0%, and the worst was 2025 at -23.0%. 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.
