GIS 10.51%
PG 12.8%
UL 11.88%
I love utilities and have no complaints about stocks with a CAGR in the 11 - 13.5% range. Young investors can skew their portfolios towards stocks in tech, healthcare and certain consumer discretionary and help push the CAGR of their portfolio to something in the 13 - 15% area.
No need to predominantly load up stock sectors known to produce lower returns over a 30 yr period.
I offered a range between 15-20% CAGR in my original post. The following stocks stand a very good chance of a 14-20% CAGR over the next 10-15yrs (you should have asked over the next 5yrs, that would have been harder)
HD, UNH, AOS, STZ, CTAS, NOC, MCD, CMI, ROST, TJX, ADP and CRM just to quickly name a few.
