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 | −9.0% | −60.0% | +127.5% | 0.0% |
| 3 years | +2.5% | – | – | 0.0% |
| 5 years | +6.4% | −3.5% | +10.3% | 0.0% |
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 and the change in P/E over 3 years are left empty: the earnings per share stated for one end does not match that year's profit and share count, and no share count is on record to work it out.
