Make sure you use a log Y-axis when looking at historical data. Steady compound gains (even just from inflation) will make any chart look like a 'hockey stick' otherwise. You're almost always more interested in relative price movement, not absolute.
Gains from 2016 have been good, but that likely reflects the clear success of the Boeing over Airbus's new aircraft.
- kaycebasques 8y agoI'm aware of the nature of compounding returns and inflation. Compare BA to other companies that have been publicly listed for a long time. KO, CAT, MMM, IBM, and so on. BA has had a markedly-parabolic rise over the last 4 years.
