Year-by-Year Returns
$1,000 invested in Unity starting January 2023
| Year | Price | Value | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | $35.52 | $1,000 | - |
| 2024 | $32.40 | $912 | -8.8% |

What this return means
Unity (U) turned $1,000 into $1,211 since 2023. The total return is +21.1% over 3.8 years, as of 2026-10-01.
That is only about 5.1% a year once you compound it across 3.8 years. The same $1,000 in an S&P 500 index fund would be about $1,963 over the identical span, so the index came out ahead by roughly $752. The index compounded at about 19.2% 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 2024 at -8.8%, and the worst was 2025 at -31.5%. At its lowest point the position was down about 38% 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.

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 Unity at the close of every month from January 2023 through October 2026 means 46 buys and $4,600 contributed over about 3.8 years.
$100/month, dollar-cost averaged
$7,245
+57.5% on $4,600 in
Same $4,600, all in at the start
$5,570
+21.1% on $4,600 in
Spreading the buys out beat going all in at the start by $1,675. 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 $27.31 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.
