Let’s go back to 2015. Some guy had $10000.00 to invest. He put it all into Company Tesla, Inc. (TSLA). It wasn’t the hottest stock or a trendy name - it was a good, solid company he felt confident about. He invested his money and just left it. Over the 10 years that followed, Company Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) had its ups and downs - and continued to steadily thrive and grow - and along the way, the patient investor began quietly being rewarded.
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 Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) 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 $3575275.20 due to stock splits and dividends that have been reinvested, which demonstrates a total gain of $3565275.20 and a return on investment (ROI) of 35652.75%, as well as an annualized compounded growth rate (CAGR) of around 80.02%. This illustrates the advantages of long-term investing, adhered to a disciplined reinvestment plan, and also illustrates how an initially small investment into a strong, fundamentally sound company (and move good company like Tesla, Inc. (TSLA)) can create considerable wealth over the long run.
