In this series of posts I am going to be looking at stocks listed on the NZX in relation to their returns to shareholders over the life of their listing -what shareholders would now see in their back pockets if they had invested in the company IPO. The calculation of returns includes dividends and tax credits.
Comvita Ltd [CVT.NZX] has been a very poor investment for shareholders since its November 2003 listing* at $2.50c per share . With 26.3c in net dividends, 30% more in tax credits (see NZX chart above) and many rights issues and capital raisings; 0.4:1 subsequent public offering in 2004, 1:4 rights issue in 2006 and a 1:5 rights issue in 2007, gives CVT a minus 108% return (see chart below for the share price percentage gain against the average of all NZX indexes - does not include dividends, tax credits and the share split in its calculation) and over the nearly 7 year listing of CVT an annual net return of minus 15.42%**.
This compares to an annual return from the average of all NZX indexes of 4.28%
* CVT was on the unlisted market prior to its listing on the NZAX in 2003 and subsequent listing on the NZX main board in 2006.
