Total return over the last ~5 years
Return (5y) shows how much an asset gained or lost over the last 5 years. It is one of the fastest ways to separate recent winners from laggards on one common time window.
A strong return tells you the outcome over the window. It does not tell you whether the path was smooth, durable, or easy to hold through.
Technical definition, calculation notes and sources stay available here without dominating the explanation.
The 5-year return describes the total price change over a medium-term horizon of five years.
Use the ranking after the explanation, not as a standalone investment signal.
