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.
Lets have a look at Air New Zealand Ltd [AIR.NZ] this time. Air NZ hasn't been a good investment for shareholders in terms of returns since its NZX recapitalisation in 2002. With 46 cents in net dividends (see chart above) paid and another 33% of that figure gained for those eligible for associated tax credits, an approx 6% return (see chart below for the share price percentage gain against the average of all NZX indexes) over the current 8 year listing gives an approx annual net return of 0.75%.
This is nearly 11 times worse than the return from the average of all NZX indexes over the same period.
