Where the return came from
Yearly rates to Mar 2026, per-share figures restated for splits and bonuses.
| Over | Return a year | With the demerger reinvestedReturn with the demerger reinvested. The yearly price growth with the price before the demerger multiplied by the demerger's price factor (its opening price on the ex-date over the close before it), plus the average dividend yield: the return of a holder who put the value of the shares of the company that was split off back into this share on the ex-date. | Earnings growth | Change in P/E | Dividend yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | −28.4% | – | −20.4% | −13.6% | 2.8% |
| 3 years | −3.1% | −1.1% | −23.6% | +23.5% | 2.5% |
| 5 years | +15.8% | +17.2% | +9.8% | +2.9% | 2.7% |
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. Return a year is the share as it traded across the demerger; the next column is the same return with the demerger reinvested, empty for a window with no demerger in it. 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.
