Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be €43,465 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +43.7%.

Lump sum instead — €32,300 all at once in Oct 1999: €47,456 (+46.9%) — DCA came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Jan 2026): €782.54 on €800 invested (-2.2%).

⚠ 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 Enel

Enel S.p.A. is an Italian multinational producer and distributor of electricity and gas. Enel was first established as a public body at the end of 1962, and then transformed into a limited company in 1992. In 1999, following the liberalisation of the electricity market in Italy, Enel was privatised. The Italian state, through the Ministry of Economy and Finance, is the main shareholder, with 23.6% of the share capital as of 31 December 2024. (Wikipedia)

It's a listed company categorised under utilities.

It rates Medium-High Risk at 2.6/5, meaning real but ordinary risk — the kind most mainstream assets carry, with some factors scoring poorly.

What pushes the score up: earnings quality (5.0/5) and leverage / financial (3.0/5).

Scoring well: governance at 1.0/5.

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

Ratings summarise sourced facts against fixed rules — not investment advice, and no substitute for your own diligence.
