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.
Metlifecare Ltd [MET.NZ] has been very good to its shareholders in terms of returns since its IPO in July 1994. (IPO price undetermined but we will use the 50c it was trading at a year latter to make our comparison)With $NZ .63 cents in net dividends (see chart above) paid and no tax credits and 57:56 share split in 1998 , MET gives a slightly more than 540% return (see chart below for the share price percentage gain against the average of all NZX indexes) over the 15.75 year listing, an approximate annual net return of just over 34%.
This is approximately a 350% better return when compared to the average of all NZX indexes.
