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.
Trustpower Ltd [TPW.NZX] has been a n excellent investment for shareholders since its April 1994 listing* at 75c per share . With $2.29 in net dividends, 30% more in tax credits (see NZX chart above) a 2:7 share buy back in 2003 and a 2:1 share split in 2004 gives TPW a 1220% 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 16 year listing of TPW an annual net return of 76.25%**.
This compares to an annual return from the average of all NZX indexes of 12.5%
* Adjust fig
** Returns exclude dividends from 1994-1998
