Where the return came from
Yearly rates to Mar 2026, per-share figures restated for splits and bonuses.
| Over | Return a year | Earnings growth | Change in P/E | Dividend yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | +63.7% | +1,349.0% | −89.1% | 6.4% |
| 3 years | +64.1% | −4.2% | +66.7% | 4.4% |
| 5 years | +62.6% | +64.5% | −4.3% | 5.2% |
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.
