Price History
The shaded fan is where this price has historically travelled over the months after a close like today’s. It is not a forecast: it has no view on direction, only on distance.
Over 3 months from Sep 2026, roughly two-thirds of past moves landed between $119.45 and $145.63; nine in ten between $112.05 and $155.24.
Tested against this asset’s own history: across 355 past 3-month windows, the price actually landed inside the two-thirds band 72% of the time. The gap from 68% is the model’s error — real returns have fatter tails than the maths assumes, so the band gets breached more often than it claims.
Time underwater
How far below its previous all-time high the price sat, each month. 0% means a new high.
Worst drawdown: −94%, peaking May 2007 and bottoming Feb 2009 — 204 months below the prior high before recovering.

Scenarios
Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $57,064 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +102.6%.
Lump sum instead — $37,000 all at once in Dec 1995: $201,754 (+445.3%) — lump sum came out ahead.
Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Jul 2026): $288.94 on $300 invested (-3.7%).
⚠ 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.
