Of course, some companies have seen their share prices slide over this time, while others have gained far more than the benchmark.
Leaving the laggards to rest for the moment, below we look at three ASX 200 stocks that would have turned a $10,000 investment three years ago into more than $60,000 today.
3 ASX 200 stocks making some very happy investors
The first ASX 200 stock you would have done well to buy three years ago and hold on tight to is Zip Co Ltd (ASX: ZIP).
On 1 July 2022, shares in the buy now, pay later (BNPL) stock closed the day trading for 48 cents apiece. In intraday trade today, shares are changing hands for $3.04 each.
This sees the Zip share price up 533.3%. Or enough to turn a $10,000 investment into $63,333.
The second ASX 200 stock that's made some very happy and potentially wealthy investors over the last three years is Temple & Webster Group Ltd (ASX: TPW).
On 1 July 2022, shares in the online furniture and homewares retailer closed the day changing hands for $3.36. At the time of writing, those same shares are trading for $20.87 each.
This puts the Temple & Webster share price up 521.1% over the past 36 months. That would've turned a $10,000 investment three years ago into $62,113 today.
And the third ASX 200 stock that's shot the lights out over the last three years is Pro Medicus Ltd (ASX: PME).
On 1 July 2022, you could have picked up shares in the Aussie health imaging company at the market closing price of $42.44 each. At the time of writing today, those shares are trading for $283.15 apiece.
Unlike Zip and Temple & Webster, Pro Medicus shares also pay out two modest fully franked dividends a year.
If you'd bought the ASX 200 stock three years ago, you would have received the past six dividend payouts, totalling $1.07 a share.
If we add that into the current share price, then the accumulated value of Pro Medicus shares bought three years ago works out to $284.22 each.
That represents a gain of 569.7%. Or enough to have turned a $10,000 investment three years ago into $66,970 today.
Boom!
