What this return means
$1,000 in Shopify (SHOP) in 2015 grew to $45,276. That works out to +4427.6%, about 45x the original stake, as of 2026-06-01.
That is a compound rate of about 39.3% a year, an extreme pace that few holdings sustain for 11.5 years. The same $1,000 in an S&P 500 index fund over the same span would be about $4,581, so Shopify beat the index by roughly $40,694. The index compounded at about 14.2% a year over that period.
Getting here meant sitting through real volatility. The best single year was 2020 at +176.4%, and the worst was 2023 at -48.9%. At its lowest point the position was down about 55% 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.
