Once a position reaches home run status, it retains that status even if the stock price drops and the total returns dip below the 100% mark. Also, if I buy additional shares of a home run stock at a higher cost basis, the calculated total returns could also drop below 100%.
I've reopened positions in NOC and DLR, both of which achieved home run status before I closed my original positions. Repeat positions like NOC and DLR will have to earn home run status again... they don't get a free ride!

Home Run #35
My 35th home run stock is FedEx Corporation (FDX), a company that provides transportation, e-commerce, and business services worldwide.
I opened my first position in FDX on 19 February 2019, paying $179.45 per share for 15 shares. Since then, I've added shares on three more occasions, for an average cost basis of $157.70.
Below is a summary of my FDX transactions:

Initially, it looked like I made a mistake investing in FDX, but the stock rewarded my determined buying in 2019 at lower cost bases with a spectacular performance in 2020! Overall, my total return from FDX is 57% on an annualized basis!
Home Run Contenders
There is only one non-home run stock in my portfolio with a total return of 90% or above:
- Home Depot (HD) -- up 95% (39% annualized)

Concluding Remarks
With a total return exceeding my initial investment, FDX is the latest home run stock in my DivGro portfolio. The closest contender for home run status is HD with total returns of 95%.
