Rolling Returns
Railtel Corporation Of India Ltd.
Every 3-year stretch RAILTEL has been through — 31 of them, each starting a month after the last. The median returned 50.3% a year, the worst 11.0%, the best 69.8%. 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 55 separate 1-year holding periods, the median returned 8.0% a year. The worst lost 37.0% a year and the best made 314.7%.
Worst start: February 2024 — -37.0% a year for the 1 years that followed.
Best start: February 2023 — 314.7% a year.
Against the Nifty 50: RAILTEL came out ahead in 49.1% of the 55 windows both series cover.
Across 31 separate 3-year holding periods, the median returned 50.3% a year. Not one of them ended in a loss — the weakest still compounded at 11.0% a year.
Worst start: August 2023 — 11.0% a year for the 3 years that followed.
Best start: June 2022 — 69.8% a year.
Against the Nifty 50: RAILTEL came out ahead in 100.0% of the 31 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 3-year windows, RAILTEL finished ahead of the Nifty 50 in 100.0% of the 31 periods both series cover.
1-year windows
Ahead in 49.1% of 55 periods.
3-year windows
Ahead in 100.0% of 31 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 RAILTEL'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 3 years, Railtel Corporation Of India Ltd. has been through 31 separate 3 years holding periods — one starting every month. The median returned 50.3% a year, the worst 11.0% and the best 69.8%. 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.
No — not in any of the 31 3 years periods the record covers. The weakest of them still compounded at 11.0% a year. That is a statement about the past, not a guarantee about any future 3 years, and it is measured only over the years Railtel Corporation Of India Ltd. has been listed.
On this record, yes. 1 year outcomes ranged from -37.0% to 314.7% a year — a spread of 351.7%. 3 years outcomes ranged from 11.0% to 69.8%, a spread of 58.8%. 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 100.0% of the 31 3 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 Railtel Corporation Of India 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 Railtel Corporation Of India 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.
