shareholder returns

Shareholder returns are the gains an investor receives from owning a company's stock. These returns mainly come in two forms: capital appreciation, which is the increase in the stock's value over time, and dividends, which are periodic payments made from the company’s profits. Together, these provide investors with a measurable financial benefit for their investment, reflecting the company's financial health and growth prospects. Ultimately, shareholder returns indicate how well the company performs financially and how effectively it shares its success with its investors.
