Home Depot is the best performing stock in the S&P500 going back to 1981
- throwaway2037 3y agoLiterally, I Googled for: best performing stock in the S&P500 going back to 1981 The best I could find: Home Depot (HD) had the highest return in 1981 by a US stock in the S&P 500 (GSPC), returning 66.9%. [1] I think you are mistaken: That was the best single year return in 1981. It is not easy to find a single stock with the highest return since 1981. The best I could find was 20 years: Monster (energy drinks) [2] Other research shows the highest single year return on a stock ever was Qualcomm: +2620% in 1999 [3] [1] https://www.statmuse.com/money/ask/best-performing-stocks-in-the-sandp-1981 https://www.statmuse.com/money/ask/best-performing-stocks-in...
