We'll soon be bidding farewell to the 2010s. So this is an opportune time to look back on some huge stock market winners of the last decade.
It would be easy to cover big-name stocks like Amazon.com and Apple, which have returned 1,220% and 970%, respectively, over the decade. But who doesn't know that these stocks have been terrific performers?
So, like Robert Frost, we're going to take the road less traveled and focus on three much lesser-known top performers: aerospace company TransDigm Group, medical device maker Insulet, and backup power solutions specialist Generac Holdings. Over the last decade, all three of these stocks have outperformed Apple stock and one has left Amazon stock in the dust, with the other two nipping closely at its heels.
