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.
Methven Ltd [MVN.NZ] has been a poorly performing stock since its November 2004 IPO and listing (see Methven Prospectus for details) at $1.43. MVN shareholders have not done well. With 60c in net dividends and 30% more in tax credits (see chart above) gives MVN a 80% 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 6 year listing of MVN an approximate annual net return of 13.3%.
This is approximately a 80% better return when compared to the average of all NZX indexes.
