Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be €43,119 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +830.4%.

Lump sum instead — €32,100 all at once in Dec 1999: €205,899 (+541.4%) — DCA came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Jul 2026): €198.79 on €200 invested (-0.6%).

⚠ 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 industrials.

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) and market / volatility (2.7/5).

Scoring well: liquidity 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.
