Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $36,255 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +315.9%.

Lump sum instead — $25,900 all at once in Mar 2003: $503,818 (+1845.2%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (May 2026): $390.32 on $400 invested (-2.4%).

⚠ 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.

It's a listed company categorised under consumer discretionary.

It rates Medium-High Risk at 2.4/5, 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).

Scoring well: sector / regulatory at 1.0/5.

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

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