Three stocks, Booking Holdings (NASDAQ: BKNG), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: REGN), have provided 100-bagger returns for investors in the past 20 years. A $1,000 investment in Booking Holdings back then would now be worth approximately $180,000, with $23.7 billion in sales reported last year.

Apple, the world’s most valuable company with a market cap of $3.3 trillion, has seen modest growth recently, but its services business is thriving, accounting for over one-fifth of total revenue. Warren Buffett considers Apple the “best business” he knows of, with over $98 billion in free cash flow in the last 12 months.

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, once considered risky, has now become a safer investment with over $14.2 billion in sales and $4.4 billion in net income for 2024. The company’s medication Eylea generated $6 billion in revenue last year, and its strong pipeline offers growth opportunities. Trading at just 14 times its estimated future earnings, Regeneron is a promising buy-and-hold option.
