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.
Infratil Ltd [IFT.NZX] has been a stellar investment for shareholders since its September 1994 listing at an adjusted 50c per share . With $1.02c * in net dividends, 30% more in tax credits (see NZX chart above) and bonus issues; 7:6 bonus issue in 1996 and a 4:3 bonus issue in 1995, gives IFT a 700% 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 16 year listing of IFT an annual net return of just over 43%**.
This compares to an annual return from the average of all NZX indexes of 12.5%
* Excludes dividends from 1996-1999
