Investment Scenario: Let’s go back to 2015. Imagine an investor who invested $10000.00 in AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMC) company stock and held it steadily for 10 years . Instead of chasing short-term gains, the investor chose a long-term approach—holding the shares and reinvesting all dividends at the end of each year to purchase additional AMC stock. This strategy, known as dividend reinvestment, allowed the investment to compound over time, not just through stock price appreciation but also through growing dividend payouts.
What made the real difference was dividends being reinvested and not selling the stock during stock splits. Every dividend was used to purchase additional shares. When Company AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMC) stock split, the investor received additional shares without spending a single additional penny. The magic of compounding work - slowly at first and began to compound impressively.
At the end of 2025, the $10000.00 investment would be worth approximately $2204.30 due to stock splits and dividends that have been reinvested, which demonstrates a total loss of $7795.70 and a return on investment (ROI) of -77.96%, as well as an annualized compounded growth rate (CAGR) of around -14.03%.
$10000.00 invested in AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMC) in 2015 declined to $2204.30 by 2025.
