About this metric
CAGR — compound annual growth rate — is the single yearly rate that would take you from the starting price to the ending price if growth were smooth. It smooths a violent path into one number, which is exactly why it should always be read next to volatility and drawdown: a high CAGR with a −80% max drawdown is a very different asset than the same CAGR with shallow dips.
Methodology
