For a quick overview, google Microsoft stock and take a look at what happened to it after he became CEO in February 2014. It had been farting along at $24-35 a share with little lasting change since 2000. As soon as he got involved it started rising stratospherically and is now at about $360. Partnering with openAI turned out to be a brilliant idea that has helped them corner a brand new market. And poaching perhaps half their staff after an unforced error by their board is even shrewder.

  That doesn’t tell the whole story due to stock splits etc changing the unit stock price.

    No, stock splits are included.

  Need to account for splits and reinvesting dividends.
