This is a fifteen-year compounding snapshot that shows what's really happening beyond the price action.
Back then:
• The stock was around $47
• Revenue was $22.96B
• Free cash flow was $10.55B
• EPS was $0.85
Today:
• The stock is around $390
• Revenue is $281.72B
• Free cash flow is $71.61B
• EPS is $13.64
The chart goes up and down, traders get nervous, headlines change, but the underlying business has just kept scaling through each cycle.
To me, this is what real compounding looks like: volatility in the share price, but exponential growth in the fundamentals. Over time, $Microsoft(MSFT)$ feels less like a trade and more like a machine that turns innovation into cash flow.
