Despite Apple , Microsoft , and Tesla delivering some of the best gains in stock market history since they each came public, they aren't the best performing names in the S&P 500 index over the last 10 years. In fact, none of them even crack the top 10.
However, the time frame does play a very important role when making these comparisons. For example, Apple is the best-performing S&P 500 stock over the last 20 years, and as analyst Charlie Bilello points out, the group of stocks leading the market does change quite dramatically depending on the time scale:
