Long Term View: Freightways 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.

Freightways Ltd [FRE.NZ] has been very good to its shareholders in terms of returns since its forerunners establishment in 1964 - we will only be looking at the last 6 years of available data since FRE was listed in September 2003 at $NZ1.60 . With $NZ 1.17 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 190% return (see chart below for the share price percentage gain against the average of all NZX indexes) over the 6 year available data gives an approximate annual net return of just over 31%.

This is approximately double the return compared to the average of all NZX indexes.
