Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be €26,640 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +49.6%.

Lump sum instead — €21,600 all at once in Sep 2008: €72,667 (+236.4%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Jan 2026): €716.47 on €800 invested (-10.4%).

⚠ Price returns only — dividends are not included. This understates the true return of dividend-paying shares, and any comparison against crypto (which pays no dividends) is biased against equities by roughly the dividend yield, compounded.

About Ahold Delhaize

Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize N.V., commonly known as Ahold Delhaize, is a Dutch-Belgian multinational retail and wholesale holding company. Its name comes from the 2016 merger of two companies: Ahold (Dutch) and Delhaize Group (Belgian), which both have origins in the 1800s. Its business format includes supermarkets, convenience stores, hypermarkets, online grocery, online non-food, pharmacies, and liquor stores. Its 16 local brands employ 402,000 people at 7,716 stores across nine countries. The United States is where two-thirds of the holding company's revenue is generated. (Wikipedia)

It's a listed company categorised under consumer staples.

It rates Medium-High Risk at 2.3/5, meaning real but ordinary risk — the kind most mainstream assets carry, with some factors scoring poorly.

What pushes the score up: leverage / financial (3.0/5) and earnings quality (3.0/5).

Scoring well: market / volatility at 1.7/5.

Not yet researched: governance. These are excluded from the score rather than guessed, so the real risk may be higher than what’s shown.
