What about the Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?

We've already covered KAMAZ Publicly Traded's share price action, but we should also mention its total shareholder return (TSR). The TSR attempts to capture the value of dividends (as if they were reinvested) as well as any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings offered to shareholders. Dividends have been really beneficial for KAMAZ Publicly Traded shareholders, and that cash payout contributed to why its TSR of 93%, over the last 5 years, is better than the share price return.

A Different Perspective

It's good to see that KAMAZ Publicly Traded has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 14% in the last twelve months. Having said that, the five-year TSR of 14% a year, is even better. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important.
