Where the return came from

Yearly rates to Mar 2026, per-share figures restated for splits and bonuses.

OverReturn a yearEarnings growthChange in P/EDividend yield
1 year−14.0%−23.5%+11.8%0.4%
3 years+30.9%+6.1%+22.9%0.5%
5 years+46.6%+10.3%+32.2%0.8%
Return is price growth plus the average dividend yield. Change in P/E is (1 + price growth) / (1 + earnings growth) - 1, so the parts compound rather than add.
