Losses and gains are not symmetric: -50% needs +100%, -90% needs +900%. That is why cutting a loser early matters more than finding the next winner.

quick answer

How much does a stock or coin need to gain after a 50% drop?

100%. Half of the value is gone, so the remaining half has to double.

formula

The exact math the crypto loss recovery calculator runs, so you can check any result by hand.

gain needed = 1 ÷ (1 − loss) − 1multiple needed = 1 ÷ (1 − loss)

guide

the asymmetry of losses

-20% needs +25%
-50% needs +100% (a 2x)
-80% needs +400% (a 5x)
-90% needs +900% (a 10x)
-99% needs +9,900% (a 100x)

Each extra percent lost costs more to recover than the one before. A memecoin down 90% has to do a full 10x just to get you back to even, which is why most bags that fall that far never recover.
