Top Stocks of the Past 5 Years: Enphase Steals the Show The stock market has been on a rollercoaster ride in the past five years, but some companies have managed to outperform the rest. According to a recent chart by Quantera.ai, the best-performing stock in the S&P 500 over the past five years is Enphase Energy (ENPH), which has soared an impressive 1771%. That’s more than double the return of the S&P 500 itself, which gained 65% during the same period.
Enphase
Enphase is a leading provider of solar energy solutions, and its stock has benefited from the growing popularity of renewable energy. The company’s microinverter technology is particularly popular, as it allows for more efficient solar energy production.
Enphase wasn’t the only stock to post impressive gains in the past five years. Other notable performers include:
- Nvidia (NVDA): Up 1054%
- Tesla (TSLA): Up 928%
- Cadence Design Systems (CDNS): Up 507%

What does this mean for investors?
The past five years have been a great time to invest in stocks, despite having a global crisis that shall not be named in 2020 and a looming recession. It was been a great time to invest especially for those who bought into the right companies. This is contrarian to the popular belief of investing slowly and surely in the broader market. However, it’s important to remember that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Just because a stock has done well in the past doesn’t mean it will continue to do so in the future.
Time in the market has always trumpeted timing the market. The best takeaway is to be patient and not get stuck in the game to predict the next best stock.
