About this data

Two bases, and they diverge
With dividends uses the adjusted close, reinvesting every distribution at the price of the day — what a long-term holder actually earned. Price only tracks the quote, which is what the financial press reports. The longer QQQ is held, the wider the gap.
The first and last years are partial
The series runs from 1999-03-10 to 2026-10-15, so its first and last years are not full calendar years and cannot be ranked against the others.
Prices are split-adjusted
QQQ has split (2000-03-20 2:1). Prices here are split-adjusted, so they differ from the quotes printed at the time, but the percentage moves are correct.
Source and updates
Daily closes come from Yahoo Finance, current through 2026-10-15. They refresh when the site is rebuilt, not in real time.
