Good historical return
Sweco creates value for its shareholders through higher dividends and better stock price performance than the stock market as a whole.
Annual total return over the past ten years has averaged at 25 per cent, compared to 6 per cent for NASDAQ OMX Stockholm. In addition, Sweco carried out redemption procedures in 2006, 2007 and 2010 in which a further SEK 494 million was paid to the shareholders. Sweco’s dividend policy is to distribute at least half of profit after tax. In the past five years we have distributed 80 per cent of our profit after tax to the shareholders while at the same time maintaining a very strong financial position.
