Multiples Needed to Breakeven from Drawdowns

One of the most often misunderstood concepts in investing is the difference in percentages from a drawdown against an increase. For example, if a stock declines by 10%, a subsequent increase of 10% will not bring the investor back to breakeven, but rather an 11% increase in the price is required to break even. For example, a $10 stock declines by 10% to $9, a subsequent 10% rise from $9 brings the stock up to only $9.9. Below we have listed various drawdown percentages in increments of 10%, and the subsequent percentage increases needed to break even, along with their respective ‘multiples. For example, a 90% drawdown in the price of a $10 stock requires a 10X to bring the stock back up to $10.

It reports Thursday. It trades on new card sign-ups, especially from young people and he expects that in the report. But careful: they usually trades badly in the morning of a report, then reverses. Listen to the call before deciding.

It reports Thursday. They have a giant data centre business within their company. Blackstone will tell us otherwise, that the data centre them is not over. It could help the semis stocks.

He prefers Eli Lilly, but shares of NVO have come down enough.

They have one small division that Chinese authorities investigated, so the stock lost 25% of its value, and hasn't bounced back. He likes DD, but who knows what China will do during this trade war with Trump.

They are doing everything right, but face very good competition. This gets no credit in data centres.

A winner for him, the parent company of Titleist and Footjoy brands, a leader golf brand. Shares have climbed 4-fold since late 2016, an outperformer. The stock has swung a lot the past year from inconsistent quarters, but it bounced but with a strong Q3 surprise, but the next quarter last February was mixed with a revenue miss. Remember that golf is a seasonal game, so one quarter will be weak. Their 2025 guidance is mixed: slightly weaker sales and in-line EBITDA. Sales are slowing though.
