How this is calculated
CAGR = (ending value / beginning value)^(1/years) − 1. Unlike a simple average of yearly returns, CAGR accounts for compounding — it answers "what constant yearly rate, compounded every year, would turn the beginning value into the ending value?" This is why it's the standard way to compare investments, revenue growth, or any value that compounds over multiple years.
