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 | +1.2% | +102.4% | −50.4% | 0.9% |
| 3 years | −5.5% | +27.8% | −26.6% | 0.6% |
| 5 years | −7.5% | +9.9% | −16.3% | 0.6% |
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. Earnings growth over 1, 3 and 5 years is on profit divided by shares in issue at both ends: the earnings per share stated for one end does not match that year's profit and share count.
