Returns from Stocks:
Normally, it takes 10years for seeing the magic of compounding but the rationale for this is that we are assuming growth of 10–12% annually.
Outlier Stocks:
There are some stocks that can duck this norm either compound faster
Example 1: Atul Ltd (Chemicals)
Performance:
If an investor had bought 20 stocks for INR ~37,600 in August 2016(5 years back), these stocks would be worth INR 1,81,736 in August 2021. (Dividends are not included)
Stock Return of 382.93%
Example 2: Hindustan Unilever (FMCG)
Performance:
If an investor had bought 20 stocks for INR ~17,261 in August 2016(5 years back), these stocks would be worth INR 47430 in August 2021 (Dividends are not included)
