hasn't everything pretty much doubled since that time though ?

If you invested $10,000 into the S&P 500 in April 2008, the month that Visa went public, you would have had $30,944 at the end of 2019. That is a 10.09% annual growth rate, which is roughly the long term average of the index.

If you invested $10,000 in visa, you would have had $130,866 at the end of 2019. That’s is a 24.47% annual growth rate. In addition, Visa outperforms the S&P500 in every risk-adjusted return metric (e.g., sharpe, sortino, etc.) by a significant margin.
