$14...it's over

Company is done. Your stock is worth very little especially when you factor in taxes. Get out while you can.

F9 clearly holding onto their best and brightest folk if they haven't realised the stock price has been on a downslide for the last 5 years compared to the general big indexes. Christ, lay offs still have a long way to go.

Sorry that was QQQ, heres SP500
5-Year Performance (approx. late March 2021 – late March 2026)
FIVN: Approximately -90% to -90.5% (severe drawdown). From peaks above $150–$200 in the 2021 tech bo-m, the stock has lost the vast majority of its value amid multiple years of post-pandemic normalization, profitability challenges (now improving modestly), and sector de-rating.

SPY: Approximately +71% cumulative total return (price appreciation plus reinvested dividends). This equates to a solid long-term compounded gain, driven by strong performance in 2023–2025 despite the 2022 bear market. Annualized total return over 5 years is roughly 11–14% depending on exact endpoints.

Summary for 5Y: SPY dramatically outperformed FIVN. A $10,000 investment in SPY would have grown to around $17,100 (total return), while the same amount in FIVN would be worth roughly $950–$1,000 today.

@a7 LMAO really?

FIVN: Approximately -90% (dramatic underperformance). The stock peaked around $200+ in 2021 during the post-COVID tech bo-m but has since declined sharply due to multiple years of losses or slower growth, sector rotation away from high-growth SaaS, and execution challenges. Cumulative return has been deeply negative.

QQQ: Approximately +83% to +99% cumulative (depending on exact endpoint and total vs. price return). This equates to an annualized return of roughly 12.7%–14.8%. The ETF captured strong gains from tech-heavy growth stocks over the period, despite drawdowns in 2022.

If you haven’t been selling every share upon every vest date, then hate to break it to ya, but you’re financially illiterate.

It's been over for a while now. Sorry to the people who didn't sell when it was higher.
