Frequently Asked Questions

What is total return vs price return?

Price return only considers stock price change. Total return includes dividends reinvested. For dividend-heavy stocks like ITC or Coal India, total return can be 3–5% higher per year than price return alone.

How do I calculate CAGR for stock returns?

CAGR = ((Final Value / Initial Value) ^ (1/years) − 1) × 100. A stock growing from ₹100 to ₹200 in 5 years has CAGR = (2^0.2 − 1) × 100 = 14.87%.
