# This year's best performing large US stocks

The latest close against the last close of the previous year. Price only: dividends are not added back. Drawn from the 515 large US companies this site covers, as of Oct 17, 2026. The list ranks by that figure only; price vs model is a column, stated against the model and never as a call.
