The total shareholder return for the year was 23.3%TIA December 3, 2015 at 7:42 am #287141 John MoffatKeymasterTopics: 57Replies: 54479☆☆☆☆☆The total shareholder return over a year = (dividend + increase in share price) / share price at the start of the year.Since the return is 23.3%, then dividend + increase in share price = 23.3% x $3.60 = $0.84The dividend during the year is $0.24, therefore the share price increase must be $0.84 – $0.24 = $0.60Therefore the current share price = 3.60 + 0.60 = $4.20.AuthorPostsViewing 2 posts - 1 through 2 (of 2 total)You must be logged in to reply to this topic.Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Log In
