Built by QuantCommons' quantitative engine, this page is about relative opportunity, not data on AAPL alone. It places AAPL (Apple Inc.) against 12 popular alternatives, its neighboring categories and the entire market of over 10,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs, and surfaces what has done better on consistent outperformance, return for the risk taken, behavior in real market crashes and diversification. The result is a clearer view of where AAPL stands in the market, and of the alternatives worth a closer look.

Period covered: AAPL's full trading record, from October 1986 through September 2026. All returns include reinvested dividends. Data as of October 20, 2026.

## Key findings

- **Right now:** Over the past 6 months, AAPL rose 24.6% against 9.1% for the S&P 500 and 11.2% for the Nasdaq 100. Its computer hardware peers were far apart over the past 6 months, from DELL (Dell Technologies, up 127%) to GOOG (Alphabet, up 0.4%).
- **Stock or market?:** AAPL rose 4.0% over the past 3 months, in line with the computer hardware ETF XLK (State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF), which rose 5.7%. The S&P 500 rose 3.9%. Its computer hardware peers did not move as one over the past 3 months: DELL (Dell Technologies) rose 21.3%, while GOOG (Alphabet) fell 4.2%.
- **Past 1 to 3 years:** AAPL has outpaced the market, rising 29.9% over the past year against 15.8% for the S&P 500 and 17.9% for the Nasdaq 100. The same gap shows up over 3 years (99.0% against 89.3%).
- **Long term:** AAPL turned $10,000 into $127,000 over the past decade, against $42,100 in the S&P 500. AAPL's 10-year return of 1,168% puts it ahead of 96% of the stocks worth at least $300 million with that much history. The S&P 500 returned 321%.
- **In a crash:** AAPL fell harder than the S&P 500 in five of seven sell-offs. The Covid crash was the exception: AAPL fell 30.7%, less than the S&P 500's 33.7%.
- **Diversification:** AAPL is more of the same, not a cushion: a correlation of 0.68 with the S&P 500 over 5 years and 0.66 with the total US market, more closely than 98% of stocks worth at least $300 million.
- **Better options**
  - **Popular alternatives:** TSM (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing) and DELL (Dell Technologies) were ahead of AAPL in most short and long periods, though with much bigger swings (38.5% and 54.4% volatility against 28.0%).
  - **Nearby categories and themes:** ADI (Analog Devices, semiconductors) and NTAP (NetApp, computer hardware) were ahead of AAPL in most short and long periods.
  - **Whole market:** Few investments have done better on both counts: only 48 of the 3,633 stocks and funds worth at least $500 million earned more than AAPL with less volatility over the past 5 years, among them WMT (Walmart), XOM (Exxonmobil) and ABBV (AbbVie).

## How much would $10,000 in AAPL have grown?

This chart tracks a hypothetical $10,000 investment in AAPL over the past 29 years, with dividends reinvested, alongside the same amount in the S&P 500, investments that ended ahead of AAPL over the same span and AAPL's popular alternatives, among those that traded for the entire period.

- $10,000 invested in AAPL at the end of September 1997 would have grown to $20,534,853 by September 2026, more than the $132,907 it would have become in SPY, an S&P 500 fund.
- Over the past 29 years, only one of the 1,042 stocks and funds worth at least $500 million that traded that long, leveraged funds aside, ended ahead of AAPL. Over the past 5 years, 546 did, and DELL turned $10,000 into $112,363, against $24,129 for AAPL.
- One of the eight other investments on the chart ended ahead of AAPL, and MNST finished highest, at $45,663,831.

### What diversifies AAPL?

Correlation measures how closely two investments move together, on a scale from 1 (in lockstep) through 0 (unrelated) to -1 (in opposite directions).

- Moving a fifth of the money in AAPL into GLD would have cut the portfolio's volatility by 18% over the past 5 years and raised its annual return (+19.3% for AAPL alone, +19.9% for the mix).
- Among large ETFs, LVHI, DXJ and EMLP have moved largely independently of AAPL over the past 5 years, with correlations of 0.32 or lower, and each still earned a positive 5-year return.
- CAH made money in four of the seven calendar years in which AAPL lost money.

Yes. AAPL's volatility over the past 5 years was 28.0%, 1.6 times the S&P 500's 17.1%. Volatility measures how widely returns swing around their average: in roughly two years out of three, AAPL's return lands within 28.0% of its average, either way. The higher it is, the rougher the ride and the harder it is to hold through a slump.

### What is AAPL's Sharpe ratio?

AAPL's Sharpe ratio over the past 5 years was 0.75, against 0.79 for the S&P 500, so AAPL earned less for each unit of risk than an index fund did. The Sharpe ratio is the return earned above cash for each unit of volatility: two investments with the same return are not equal if one got there with far bigger swings.

### How correlated is AAPL with the S&P 500?

Over the past 5 years, AAPL's monthly returns had a correlation of 0.68 with the S&P 500. Correlation runs from 1 (moving in lockstep) through 0 (unrelated) to −1 (moving in opposite directions). They often move together: some diversification next to an index fund, but not a cushion. In the table, the correlation column measures each option against AAPL instead: the lower it is, the more that option would diversify a AAPL holding.

### What diversifies AAPL?

These had a low correlation with AAPL over the past 5 years and still earned a positive 5-year return: among large ETFs, LVHI (correlation 0.32), DXJ (correlation 0.32) and EMLP (correlation 0.30); among large stocks, CAH (correlation 0.15), CLS (correlation 0.25) and FIX (correlation 0.24). A correlation near zero means the two have moved largely independently.
