RVNL Rolling Returns

Over 5 years, Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd. has been through 29 separate 5 years holding periods — one starting every month. The median returned 80.1% a year, the worst 50.6% and the best 101.2%. 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 29 5 years periods the record covers. The weakest of them still compounded at 50.6% a year. That is a statement about the past, not a guarantee about any future 5 years, and it is measured only over the years Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd. has been listed.

50.6% a year, for the five years beginning June 2021. For contrast the best 5 years returned 101.2% a year, starting March 2020, and the median across all 29 periods was 80.1%. 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 -49.7% to 416.1% a year — a spread of 465.8%. 5 years outcomes ranged from 50.6% to 101.2%, a spread of 50.5%. 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 29 5 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 Rail Vikas Nigam 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 Rail Vikas Nigam 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.
