I agree. That would be a believable trajectory. According to Grok we can expect 10x from here if it follows the performance of Amazon stock in the past decade.

To determine how much Amazon’s stock (AMZN) has risen over the last ten years, we need to compare its price from October 2015 to October 2025 and calculate the percentage increase. Based on available data, I’ll use the closing prices for consistency.
• October 2015 Closing Price: The data indicates that the price was approximately $27.30 (adjusted for splits).
• October 2025 Closing Price: The latest closing price on October 10, 2025, was $216.37.
Calculation of Price Increase
1 Price Change:
$216.37 (2025) - $27.30 (2015) = $189.07
2 Percentage Increase:
($189.07 / $27.30) × 100 = 692.58%
Total Return Consideration
The price increase reflects only the stock price appreciation. However, total return accounts for price appreciation plus reinvested dividends. Since Amazon does not pay dividends, the total return equals the price return. Data confirms a 10-year total return of approximately 735.28% to 758.70% depending on the exact dates, aligning closely with the price increase calculation.
Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)
The 10-year CAGR for Amazon’s stock price is reported as approximately 23.77% to 25.18%. This indicates the annualized growth rate over the period.
Summary
Amazon’s stock price has risen approximately 692.58% from October 2015 to October 2025, based on the closing prices of $27.30 in 2015 and $216.37 in 2025. The total return, which matches the price increase due to no dividends, is around 735–758% over the decade, with a CAGR of about 23.77–25.18%.
