TaChan SecuritiesLtd (GTSM:6020) Shareholders Have Enjoyed A 42% Share Price Gain

When you buy and hold a stock for the long term, you definitely want it to provide a positive return. But more than that, you probably want to see it rise more than the market average. Unfortunately for shareholders, while the TaChan Securities Co.,Ltd. (GTSM:6020) share price is up 42% in the last five years, that's less than the market return. On a brighter note, more newer shareholders are probably rather content with the 35% share price gain over twelve months.

What About Dividends?

It is important to consider the total shareholder return, as well as the share price return, for any given stock. The TSR incorporates the value of any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings, along with any dividends, based on the assumption that the dividends are reinvested. So for companies that pay a generous dividend, the TSR is often a lot higher than the share price return. In the case of TaChan SecuritiesLtd, it has a TSR of 53% for the last 5 years. That exceeds its share price return that we previously mentioned. The dividends paid by the company have thusly boosted the total shareholder return.

A Different Perspective

It's good to see that TaChan SecuritiesLtd has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 38% in the last twelve months. That's including the dividend. That's better than the annualised return of 9% over half a decade, implying that the company is doing better recently. Given the share price momentum remains strong, it might be worth taking a closer look at the stock, lest you miss an opportunity. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand TaChan SecuritiesLtd better, we need to consider many other factors.
