Summary
5Y Return measures the percentage change in a share’s price over the past five years. It provides a broader view of long-term market performance.
This metric helps investors assess how a share has performed across different market conditions and business cycles.
Why it matters
Five-year performance can show whether a company has delivered sustained price appreciation or experienced long-term weakness. It is useful for investors with a longer investment horizon.
It can also help compare companies that may have similar short-term performance but very different long-term records.
How to read it
A positive 5Y Return indicates that the share price has increased over the five-year period. A negative 5Y Return indicates that it has declined.
Investors should review 5Y Return together with dividends, earnings growth, profitability, and valuation changes.
