What this return means
Buying Snap (SNAP) in 2023 cost you money. That stake is worth $384 as of 2026-06-01, a -61.6% move that left you with less than you started with after 3.6 years.
That averages out to -23.4% a year, meaning the position shrank in compound terms across the 3.6-year window. A plain S&P 500 fund would have grown that $1,000 to about $1,916 instead, beating Snap by around $1,532. The index compounded at about 19.9% 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 2024 at +37.5%, and the worst was 2025 at -28.9%. 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.
What if you invested $100 a month instead?
Most people do not drop a lump sum in on day one. They add a fixed amount every month. Putting $100 into Snap at the close of every month from January 2023 through June 2026 means 42 buys and $4,200 contributed over about 3.5 years.
$100/month, dollar-cost averaged
$2,046
-51.3% on $4,200 in
Same $4,200, all in at the start
$1,613
-61.6% on $4,200 in
Spreading the buys out beat going all in at the start by $433. That happens when the price spent time below where it began, so averaging in caught the cheaper months. Averaging in also meant an average buy price of $9.11 per share across the whole stretch, so the monthly buyer never had to time a single low. Neither number counts dividends, taxes, or trading costs.
Illustrative fixed $100/month example, not a recommendation. Figures are computed from SNAP split-adjusted monthly closes through June 2026. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
