Formula

(Price Change + Dividends) / Starting Price x 100

Description

The combined return from price appreciation and dividends over the past year. This is the complete measure of what shareholders actually received. Comparing total return to the broader market shows whether the stock outperformed or underperformed.

Interpretation

Above 10% is solid on an absolute basis. Compare to the S&P 500 return for context. Strong fundamentals with poor 1Y returns may indicate a buying opportunity (if the weakness is temporary). Consistently strong returns with deteriorating fundamentals is a warning.
