I was re-reading Beating The Street by Peter Lynch and this caught my eye.

And I was blown away by what I saw.

Home Depot's stock price compounded at 54% CAGR for 17 years.

A 1500+ bagger!

₹10 thousand invested in this rocket became ₹1.5 Crores in 17 years, excluding dividends.

Next I went to Home Depot's website and found a treasure trove of historical annual reports dating back to 1980 @ https://ir.homedepot.com/financial-reports/annual-reports/archive

And then I collated data from Home Depot's annual reports.

Question: What is peculiar about these numbers?
