What's the best ROI you've gotten from an Employee Stock Purchase Plan? I'd love to hear the biggest or typical ROIs seen come purchase date!

Best ESPP Payout?

Had a few friends work at Electronic Arts during their rocket period in 2014. They maxed their purchases (20% of base salary). I think it was 50% discount.
$15/share.
The own their homes in Vancouver now. (If you know anything about Canada real estate, this will 🤯)

50% discount?? that's crazy. Most I've seen is like 15%
@SADNES5 do you know if that was a company policy 50% discount no matter what? or came out to be a 50% discount given that the value of the stock increased so much since the start of the offering period?
Owning in Vancouver is a big 💪, that does help drive the point home for me!

I believe it's a lot less now. 2014-2018 were some golden years at EA.
This discount was to increase employee "ownership". It's harder for engaged employees to put in overtime/crunch when they know it's their own money.
I'll ask my friends what the structure is like now. May be a day or two.

amazing
Mine have been good but nothing like a startup. I did about 2x over 5 years and a fairly large company.
Nice! Steady and predictable to 2x is a good thing
I am holding some sitting around 800% ROI, which were also purchased at an additional 15% at the time.
Wow that's solid- how long have you held the 800% for?
wow that's awesome
