While investors chase the latest tech darlings, some of the market’s biggest winners have been hiding in plain sight. Companies in trucking, aerospace components, footwear, and homebuilding have quietly delivered returns that dwarf those of Apple, Google, and Facebook over the past two decades. Watch the video below to discover these remarkable investment stories.
Take Old Dominion Freight Line, a trucking company that delivered over 42,000% returns since 2000. The company achieved this through operational excellence in a commodity business, maintaining industry-leading margins while competitors struggled.
TransDigm Group, an aerospace parts manufacturer, has generated 75x returns since 2006. The company’s monopoly-like position in critical aircraft components creates recurring revenue streams with minimal competition.
NVR Inc., a homebuilder, survived the 2008 housing crisis and delivered over 60,000% returns since 1990. Their “land-light” model—optioning rather than owning property—provides downside protection while maintaining growth potential.
These examples demonstrate that sustainable competitive advantages and disciplined execution often matter more than being in a trendy sector. The market’s biggest winners frequently operate in unsexy industries with strong fundamentals.
