Could $500 a month in LMB grow toward $132K? 
LMB delivered an impressive five-year run, but its steep pullback raises big questions.
Hit play to explore the growth, the risks, and what the numbers reveal!
Imagine setting aside $500 a month for $LMB for five years, buying a fixed dollar amount on a schedule, a method called dollar-cost averaging. In our example the buy happens on the first trading day on or after the 9th of each month, from Oct 2021 through Sep 2026 (the first buy lands on Monday, Oct 11, 2021, because Oct 9 was a Saturday): 60 buys, $30,000 in total.
LMB closed at $6.19 on Oct 8, 2021 and at $47.95 on Oct 6, 2026, a price gain of about 674.6%, or roughly 50.6% a year compounded (the steady yearly rate that would give the same total gain). In that example the $30,000 would have been worth about $132,100 at the Oct 6, 2026 close (about 4.40 times the money put in), and a single $10,000 invested on Oct 8, 2021 would have become about $77,460. Price only: no dividends, fees or taxes, and these are examples, not forecasts.
The highest close of the past 52 weeks was $114.95 on May 5, 2026, so the Oct 6, 2026 close sat about 58.3% below it. The lowest close of the five years was $4.18 on Dec 20, 2021, about 32.5% below the $6.19 start. To keep the headline in perspective, +674.6% is about 93.7% above the +580.89% mark shown in the chart, so a few days of trading could move it.

Caution: past pace rarely continues. LMB's Aug 4, 2026 release for the quarter ended Jun 30, 2026 showed expanding gross margins and building system maintenance demand, but the stock moved from its 52-week peak of $114.95 down toward $40.74–$53.45 by late October and early November 2026, a reminder that prices can pull back significantly even when long-term operational progress remains intact.
