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−7.1%−13.4%+6.0%1.1%
3 years+36.2%+18.2%+14.2%1.1%
5 years+29.1%+17.9%+8.4%1.2%
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.
