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 | −35.2% | – | +38.5% | −55.2% | 2.8% |
| 3 years | −19.3% | +22.7% | −57.9% | +88.8% | 1.2% |
| 5 years | −2.8% | +24.9% | −0.2% | −4.1% | 1.4% |
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 3 years includes one-off items (exceptional items and the result of businesses sold or closed) of more than a tenth of the profit of the year to Mar 2023.
