Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $30,723 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +200.6%.

Lump sum instead — $23,100 all at once in Jun 2007: $126,677 (+448.4%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Oct 2025): $1,079 on $1,100 invested (-1.9%).

⚠ 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 TE Connectivity

TE Connectivity plc is an American-Irish domiciled technology company that designs and manufactures electrical and electronic components. It serves several industries, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, and energy. (Wikipedia)

It's a listed company categorised under information technology and electronic manufacturing services, with a market cap of about $62.0B.

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 market / volatility (3.3/5).

Scoring well: sector / regulatory at 1.0/5.

Not yet researched: leverage / financial, concentration, 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.
