How Everpure (P) compares with the whole market and its popular alternatives

Built by QuantCommons' quantitative engine, this page is about relative opportunity, not data on P alone. It places P (Everpure, Inc.) against 20+ 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 P stands in the market, and of the alternatives worth a closer look.

Period covered: P's full trading record, from October 2015 through September 2026. The crash tests reach back to 2000 using older funds and the S&P 500. All returns include reinvested dividends. Data as of October 20, 2026.

Key findings

How much would $10,000 in P have grown?

This chart tracks a hypothetical $10,000 investment in P over the past 10 years, with dividends reinvested, alongside the same amount in the S&P 500, investments that ended ahead of P over the same span and P's popular alternatives, among those that traded for the entire period. A second view covers the past 5 years, the period the better options further down the page are judged on. It shows not only where each investment ended up but also how smooth or uneven the path was.

Note: P began trading on October 6, 2015, so the chart cannot reach back to the dot-com bust, the 2008 financial crisis or two other sell-offs. It covers the most recent 10 years of P's record, starting at the end of September 2016.

P at a glance

This section summarizes the key facts about the stock, its returns over periods from one to ten years and the risk it has carried, with dividends reinvested throughout. These figures serve as the baseline for every comparison that follows.

Note: P began trading on October 6, 2015, so every figure here, including its worst decline, covers only the time since then. None of them reflect the dot-com bust, the 2008 financial crisis or two other sell-offs.

P against the whole market

Where P ranks among every stock and fund, and what across the market has done better.

How does P rank among all stocks?

This section ranks P on return, volatility, risk-adjusted return and worst decline against every stock worth at least $300 million with enough history. Where the comparisons with its popular alternatives show how P stacks up against its peers, these rankings show where it stands in the market as a whole.

Ranked against U.S.-listed stocks worth at least $300M that have enough history for each measure, so the count changes from row to row; smaller stocks are left out. Lower volatility and smaller declines rank higher.

What has beaten P on both return and risk?

Each dot is an investment, placed by how much it earned a year over the past 5 years (higher is better) and how much its price swung, its volatility (further left is calmer). P sits where the dashed lines cross. Anything in the green box above and to the left earned more than P with smaller swings, a better trade-off over this period on both counts. Past results are no promise, but a name in the box is worth a closer look.

Annual return is the annualized total return with dividends reinvested, and volatility the annualized swing in daily prices, both over 5 years. Labeled dots are the strongest picks from the table below and the names called out above, colored by how close they sit to P; faint dots are 36 more of the 48 in the green region (the strongest, one per fund family). 3,633 stocks and funds worth at least $500 million were screened.

Is there a better investment than P?

Investments that beat P over the past 5 years on return, volatility, drawdowns, consistency, crash losses or fees, from its popular alternatives out to the whole market.

How this works

The table below lists investments that beat P over the past 5 years on at least one of these measures: a higher annual return with lower volatility, a higher annual return at similar volatility, a similar return with lower volatility, a higher Sharpe ratio with a smaller worst decline, a higher total return in most periods from 3 months to 10 years, or smaller losses in recent market crashes. It checks P's popular alternatives first, then the rest of its own and neighboring categories, then every stock and fund worth at least $500 million, and shows the strongest few in each group. The full list of those with a higher return and lower volatility than P follows the table.

Annual return is the annualized total return with dividends reinvested. Annual return, volatility and the Sharpe ratio cover 5 years; the worst decline covers the past 10 years. Green marks a better figure than P's. "On the frontier" means no other option shown or tested earned more with less volatility. Funds that hold the same thing are shown once. Beyond the popular alternatives, nothing with more than 1.5× P's volatility counts as better.

These figures cover the past 5 years. Green marks a better figure than P's.

What these numbers mean for P
Annual return
P returned 37.3% a year over the past 5 years with dividends reinvested, against 12.7% a year for the S&P 500. At that pace, $10,000 became about $48,800. Annual return is the steady yearly rate that would produce the same total result, so investments held over the same span compare fairly. Guide: What is performance and return? →
Volatility
P's volatility over the past 5 years was 55.0%, 3.2 times the S&P 500's 17.1%. Volatility measures how widely returns swing around their average: in roughly two years out of three, P's return lands within 55.0% of its average, either way. The higher it is, the rougher the ride and the harder it is to hold through a slump. Guide: Understanding and measuring risk (volatility) →
Sharpe ratio
P's Sharpe ratio over the past 5 years was 0.85, against 0.79 for the S&P 500, so P earned more 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. Guide: Balancing reward with risk (Sharpe ratio) →
Worst decline
P's worst fall from a peak to a low over the past 10 years was 69.4%, against 33.7% for the S&P 500. Losses and gains are not symmetric: climbing back from a 69.4% fall takes a 227% gain. Guide: Market crash risk and tail risk →
Correlation
Over the past 5 years, P's monthly returns had a correlation of 0.44 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 P instead: the lower it is, the more that option would diversify a P holding. Guide: Correlation and diversification →

How do P's risk and return compare with its alternatives?

This map plots each investment's annual return over the past 5 years against its volatility, the size of its typical price swings. Investments toward the upper left earned more for a smoother ride, and those toward the lower right earned less for a rougher one. The dashed lines cross at P, which divides the map into what did better or worse on each measure.

Green points earned more than P with less volatility; red points earned less with more. Hover over a point for its figures. Total returns with dividends reinvested, annualized.

Has P consistently beaten its popular alternatives?

This section compares P with the investments people most often weigh against it, checking each one over eight periods from one month to ten years. Counting how often an alternative earned more than P helps separate lasting outperformance from a single strong stretch.

A green cell means the alternative earned more than P over that period. "Qualified" marks those that did so in at least 3 of 5 short-term periods and 2 of 3 long-term periods.

How did P do year by year?

This table shows each investment's total return in every full calendar year since 2016, along with where P ranked among its popular alternatives each year. Annual results reveal how consistently each one kept pace with P and how far its good and bad years diverged, detail that multiyear averages tend to smooth over.

Note: P began trading on October 6, 2015, so the table starts with 2016, its first full calendar year, and cannot show how it fared during the dot-com bust, the 2008 financial crisis or two other sell-offs.

Newest year first. Green marks a year in which the fund came out ahead of P; gray means the two finished within a fraction of a point. The rank row places P among the alternatives that traded the full year; dark green is the top quarter and red the bottom quarter.

Risk and diversification

How P has fallen, how it held up in crashes beside the S&P 500 and its popular alternatives, and what moves independently of it.

What were P's worst declines?

A drawdown is the decline from a peak to the lowest point before a new high. This section presents P's five deepest drawdowns since it began trading in 2015, alongside the S&P 500's return over the same dates, and how long each took to recover. Together, these figures show how much an investor could have lost and how long it took to get back to even.

Note: P began trading on October 6, 2015, so this list cannot include the dot-com bust, the 2008 financial crisis or two other sell-offs. The crash tests on this page show how older funds and the S&P 500 fared through those years.

Green means P fell less than the S&P 500 over the same dates. Based on daily closing prices with dividends reinvested.

How did P do in stock market crashes?

This section measures how far P, the S&P 500 and each alternative fell from peak to trough during every major market crash since 2000. A smaller decline means an investment held up better, and comparing results across crashes shows whether that resilience was consistent or a one-off.

Note: P began trading on October 6, 2015, so its row reads "Not yet trading" for the dot-com bust, the 2008 financial crisis or three other sell-offs. The older alternatives and the S&P 500 show how those crashes played out.

Newest crash first. Each figure is the fund's deepest fall within the crash window; green means a smaller fall than P.

How closely does P move with the S&P 500?

Upside capture measures how much of the S&P 500's gains an investment kept in the months the market rose, and downside capture how much of its losses it took in the months the market fell. An investment that captures more of the gains than the losses has compounded ahead of the market over time. This section compares P with its popular alternatives on both measures, and on beta (how strongly each has moved with the market), over the past 10 years.

Monthly total returns over the past 10 years, measured against SPY. 100% capture or a beta of 1.00 means moving in line with the S&P 500. Green marks a better figure than P's: more upside, less downside or a higher capture ratio. Sorted by capture ratio.

What diversifies P?

Correlation measures how closely two investments move together, on a scale from 1 (in lockstep) through 0 (unrelated) to -1 (in opposite directions). This section lists large ETFs and stocks whose returns have had a low correlation with P's. Because such investments tend not to fall at the same time, pairing P with them can reduce a portfolio's overall swings.

Only ETFs with at least $1.0B in assets and stocks worth at least $10B, with a correlation below 0.5 over the past 5 years and a positive return, are included, ranked by Sharpe ratio; funds that hold the same thing are shown once. The year columns are the years in which P lost money. The last two columns show a portfolio that is 80% P and 20% the other investment, rebalanced monthly.

Common questions

What was P's worst drawdown?

P's deepest decline since it began trading in 2015 was 69.4%, from September 2018 to March 2020. It took 11 months from the low to climb back to its old high. Because P launched in October 2015, that record does not include the dot-com bust, the 2008 financial crisis or two other sell-offs.

What were P's best and worst years?

Over ten full calendar years, P's best year was 2024, when it returned 72.3%. Its worst was 2016, with a return of -27.4%.

Is there a better investment than P?

Among P's popular alternatives, ANET and STX earned more than P with less volatility over the past 5 years. ANET returned 49.0% a year at 49.0% volatility, against 37.3% a year at 55.0%. Looking beyond its popular alternatives, AVGO (semiconductors) and ASX (semiconductors) earned more than P with less volatility over the past 5 years. AVGO returned 48.3% a year at 44.5% volatility, against 37.3% a year at 55.0%.

Is P more volatile than the S&P 500?

Yes. P's volatility over the past 5 years was 55.0%, 3.2 times the S&P 500's 17.1%. Volatility measures how widely returns swing around their average: in roughly two years out of three, P's return lands within 55.0% 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 P's Sharpe ratio?

P's Sharpe ratio over the past 5 years was 0.85, against 0.79 for the S&P 500, so P earned more 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 P with the S&P 500?

Over the past 5 years, P's monthly returns had a correlation of 0.44 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 P instead: the lower it is, the more that option would diversify a P holding.

What are the best alternatives to P?

Of the 20 popular alternatives we compared, two outperformed P in at least 3 of 5 short-term and 2 of 3 long-term timeframes, with dividends reinvested: MU and DELL.

Did P outperform the S&P 500?

P finished ahead of the S&P 500 (SPY) in six of ten full calendar years. In 2025, it returned +9.1%, against +17.7% for the index.

How did P do in stock market crashes?

P fell less than the S&P 500 (SPY) in one of the five major crashes it has traded through, and further in four. The clearest case was the late-2018 sell-off, when P fell 45.0% and the S&P 500 fell 19.3%.

What diversifies P?

These had a low correlation with P over the past 5 years and still earned a positive 5-year return: among large ETFs, LVHI (correlation -0.06), DXJ (correlation 0.35) and EMLP (correlation -0.04); among large stocks, CAH (correlation 0.02), CLS (correlation 0.47) and FIX (correlation 0.34). A correlation near zero means the two have moved largely independently.
