Long Term View: Fletcher Building Ltd



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.

Fletcher Building Ltd [FBU.NZ] has been very good to its shareholders in terms of returns since its forerunners NZX listing in the 1940s - we will only be looking at the last 9 years of available data since FBU became a fully separate company and listed in March 2001 at $2.25. With $NZ 3.17 cents in net dividends (see chart above) paid and another 33% of that figure gained for those eligible for associated tax credits, a slightly more than 550% return (see chart below for the share price percentage gain against the average of all NZX indexes) over the 9 year available data gives an approximate annual net return of just over 61%.

This is more than 6 times better than the return from the average of all NZX indexes.
