Twenty stocks surged over 10,000% since 2000

Nearly 20 stocks have seen astonishing growth, climbing over 10,000% in the past 25 years since the dot-com bubble peaked. This insight comes from Bespoke Investment Group. The S&P 500 Index reached its highest point on March 24, 2000, at 1,527.46, marking the height of the tech-driven market rise. However, a significant downturn soon followed, which resulted in a loss of almost half its value by October 2002. The market did not fully recover until May 2007. Interestingly, most of the largest winners from that era are not technology stocks. Aside from Nvidia, Apple, and Ansys, many of the top performers come from other sectors like beverages, footwear, and auto parts. Apple is the only tech company on the list from the 1990s boom. The standout performer is Monster Beverage. Its stock has skyrocketed more than 127,000% since March 2000. It is the only stock categorized as a "1,000-bagger" in this report, representing an increase in value of 1,000 times. Analysts remain positive about Monster, with many recommending it as a buy. Deckers Outdoor, which makes Ugg and Hoka shoes, has also seen impressive gains, rising almost 53,000% since March 2000. Despite a recent drop of 41% due to weak consumer confidence, analysts still favor the stock. Southern Copper, a mining company, has gained over 15,000% in the last 25 years. Its stock has been strong this year, climbing 12% year-to-date. This performance shows that some companies outside of technology have also thrived since the early 2000s.
