Where the return came from#

Data provided bySource: Twelve Data

Each window's total return per year (CAGR), split three ways: what the companies earned (earnings growth), what the market paid for those earnings (the change in the P/E, from the start of the window to now), and dividends. Each period links to its split year by year.

Methodology#

Trailing returns measure from the closest close about N years before the latest close (2026-11-13). Cumulative return is the total change over the window; annualized return is the compound annual growth rate (CAGR), shown for windows of a year or more. Price return is the change in SPY's closing price; total return reinvests dividends (from its split- and dividend-adjusted closes); the dividends column is the difference between the two. The worst drop is the largest fall in the closing price from a high to a later low inside the window, the way a drawdown is usually quoted. The split into earnings, P/E and dividends is the arithmetic of the return drivers page: the index's level is its P/E times its earnings, so the price return is earnings growth and the change in the P/E together (shared between them by their logarithms, so the two add up), and dividends are total return less price return. Earnings are the trailing twelve-month as-reported EPS on the EPS page. See the year-by-year returns for the calendar breakdown. Past performance does not predict future returns; not investment advice.
