Since the market bottomed during the financial crisis, the S&P 500 has gained more than 312 percent, but some individual stocks have gained thousands of times over.
CNBC studied the price performance of stocks in the S&P that were publicly traded 10 years ago. In a list of the top 25, the top performing stock was Ulta Beauty, which is up more than 7,100 percent since then. It is followed by ABIOMED and Netflix, both up more than 6,000 percent. Amazon is up 2,700 percent from that 2009 low. All prices are as of Tuesday's close.
The S&P consumer discretionary sector has been the top performer in the decade since March 2009, gaining 598 percent. Second best has been technology, which is up 522 percent. The financial sector, which represented the epicenter of the crisis, has rebounded 422 percent and is third-best performer. Some key stocks in that sector have bounced back sharply.
