If You Invested $25,000 in Vertex Pharmaceuticals 5 Years Ago, This Is How Much You Would Have Today

Investing in just the S&P 500 would have resulted in a nearly 60% increase in value -- and that's even after factoring in this year's bearish market. Five years ago, Vertex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: VRTX) was coming off a year when its revenue soared by 65% to $1.7 billion.
