In this new 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.
Starting at the beginning of the alphabet I am going to work my way down and see which NZX company comes off looking the best. I already have my own ideas in the back of my head as to which is the best long-term return on the NZX but will keep it to myself until I reach them.
Auckland International Airport [AIA.NZ] has treated shareholders well in terms of returns since its NZX listing in 1999. With 72 cents in net dividends (see chart above) paid and another 33% of that figure gained for those eligible for associated tax credits, an approx 400% return (see chart below for the share price percentage gain against the average of all NZX indexes) over the 11 year listing gives an approx annual net return of 36%.
This is nearly 4 times better than the return from the average of all NZX indexes.
