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.
Telstra Corp Ltd [TLS.NZ] has been very good to its shareholders in terms of returns since its IPO in November 1998 at $3.50(in 2 installments - see 1998 prospectus)With $NZ 5.94 cents in net dividends (see chart above) paid and tax credits at an average of 20% , TLS gives a slightly more than 300% return (see chart below for the share price percentage gain against the average of all NZX indexes) over the 12 year listing, an approximate annual net return of 25%.
This is approximately a 300% better return when compared to the average of all NZX indexes.
