Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $167,452 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +208.1%.

Lump sum instead — $65,100 all at once in Jun 1972: $693,436 (+965.2%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Apr 2026): $484.48 on $500 invested (-3.1%).

⚠ 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.

It's a listed company categorised under utilities and electric utilities, with a market cap of about $49.4B.

It rates High Risk at 2.8/5, meaning several rated factors score badly, so this carries materially more risk than a typical holding.

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

Scoring well: liquidity at 1.0/5.

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