Rolling Returns
NMDC Ltd.
Every 15-year stretch NMDC has been through — 42 of them, each starting a month after the last. The median returned 7.2% a year, the worst -1.8%, the best 11.5%. A single headline CAGR hides all of that.
Every Holding Period
A rolling window is every possible start date, not one. A five-year window starting in January is a different investment from one starting in February, and over twenty years there are a couple of hundred of them. What follows is the full spread of what each holding period actually produced.
Across 210 separate 1-year holding periods, the median returned 2.5% a year. The worst lost 57.2% a year and the best made 230.1%.
Worst start: April 2008 — -57.2% a year for the 1 years that followed.
Best start: November 2008 — 230.1% a year.
Against the Nifty 50: NMDC came out ahead in 47.6% of the 210 windows both series cover.

Windows step forward one month at a time and are measured on month-end adjusted closing prices, so dividends are treated as reinvested. Overlapping windows share months by construction — that is what makes the spread a description of this stock's history rather than a sample of independent trials.
Against The Index
Beating an index once is a result. Beating it across most of the periods an investor could have picked is a pattern. Over 15-year windows, NMDC finished ahead of the Nifty 50 in 0.0% of the 42 periods both series cover.
1-year windows
Ahead in 47.6% of 210 periods.
3-year windows
Ahead in 37.1% of 186 periods.
5-year windows
Ahead in 30.9% of 162 periods.
7-year windows
Ahead in 37.0% of 138 periods.
10-year windows
Ahead in 36.3% of 102 periods.
15-year windows
Ahead in 0.0% of 42 periods.
Each window is compared against the index over the identical calendar months, on the same adjusted basis — not against an assumed rate of return.
How This Is Calculated
Windows step forward one month at a time, so they share most of their months with each other. That is what makes this a description of NMDC's actual history rather than a set of independent trials — and why the spread should not be read as a probability.
Measured on month-end closing prices adjusted for dividends and splits, so dividends count as reinvested. A window that opened or closed mid-month would differ a little in either direction.

HELP CENTER
Everything you need to know about this page and the data presented.
Over 15 years, NMDC Ltd. has been through 42 separate 15 years holding periods — one starting every month. The median returned 7.2% a year, the worst -1.8% and the best 11.5%. A rolling return measures every possible start date instead of one, which is why it answers a question a single headline CAGR cannot: how much the outcome depended on when you happened to buy.
Yes. 30.4% of the 102 10 years periods on record ended below where they started, and the worst of them lost 8.6% a year — the stretch beginning August 2009. The median period returned 5.8% a year.
-21.6% a year, for the five years beginning April 2008. For contrast the best 5 years returned 39.0% a year, starting September 2019, and the median across all 162 periods was 5.3%. The gap between those two numbers is the part of the outcome that came down to timing rather than to the company.
On this record, yes. 1 year outcomes ranged from -57.2% to 230.1% a year — a spread of 287.4%. 15 years outcomes ranged from -1.8% to 11.5%, a spread of 13.2%. Longer holding periods narrowed the range of results, which is the usual pattern and the reason this page publishes every window rather than one. Narrowing the range is not the same as removing the risk.
In 0.0% of the 42 15 years periods both series cover. Each window is compared against the index over the identical months, not against an assumed index return, so the comparison is a like-for-like record rather than a model.
Windows step forward one month at a time on month-end closing prices adjusted for dividends and stock splits, so dividends are treated as reinvested. A window length is only published once there are at least twelve complete windows behind it — fewer than that describes an anecdote, not a distribution. Overlapping windows share months by construction, which is what makes this a description of the actual history of NMDC Ltd. rather than a sample of independent trials. Companies that delisted are not on this site at all, a survivorship bias worth holding in mind.
That is not a question this page answers, and we do not make recommendations. What it can show you is the full range of what every holding period in the listed history of NMDC Ltd. actually produced — including the worst ones, which most performance figures leave out. Those are records of what happened, not forecasts. A stock that never had a losing decade may still have one, and holding a single company is a materially different risk from holding an index.
