Lam Research stock turns $100 into $5,250.97 over 15 years

Lam Research stock turned a $100 investment 15 years ago into $5,250.97 by Oct. 22, Benzinga said in an automated article reviewed by an editor.

The Oct. 22 automated article put Lam Research’s average annual return at 30.13%, with annualized performance 17.51 percentage points above the market, showing the effect of compounding over a long holding period.

Benzinga based the calculation on a Lam Research share price of $229.39 at the time of writing. The article also listed the company’s market capitalization at $329.69 billion.

The figures are backward-looking and do not include a forecast, valuation call, earnings estimate or price target. Benzinga’s article framed the exercise as an illustration of how compounded returns can change the value of an initial cash investment over time.

Lam Research is a major semiconductor-equipment company, a sector where equity returns can be tied to capital-spending cycles in chip manufacturing. The Benzinga item did not provide current earnings data, guidance or a dated company catalyst.
