Yahoo Finance Kite Realty Group Trust (NYSE:KRG) delivers shareholders decent 13% CAGR over 5 years, surging 5.0% in the last week alone
The main point of investing for the long term is to make money. But more than that, you probably want to see it rise more than the market average. Unfortunately for shareholders, while the Kite Realty Group Trust (NYSE:KRG) share price is up 39% in the last five years, that's less than the market return. However, if you include the dividends then the return is market beating. The last year hasn't been great either, with the stock up just 2.3%.
Since it's been a strong week for Kite Realty Group Trust shareholders, let's have a look at trend of the longer term fundamentals.

Because Kite Realty Group Trust made a loss in the last twelve months, we think the market is probably more focussed on revenue and revenue growth, at least for now. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.
In the last 5 years Kite Realty Group Trust saw its revenue grow at 8.8% per year. That's a pretty good long term growth rate. The annual gain of 7% over five years is better than nothing, but falls short of the market. Arguably, that means, the market (previously) expected stronger growth from the company.

What About Dividends?
When looking at investment returns, it is important to consider the difference between total shareholder return (TSR) and share price return. 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. Arguably, the TSR gives a more comprehensive picture of the return generated by a stock. In the case of Kite Realty Group Trust, it has a TSR of 86% for the last 5 years. That exceeds its share price return that we previously mentioned. And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence!
A Different Perspective
It's nice to see that Kite Realty Group Trust shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 7.0% over the last year. Of course, that includes the dividend. However, the TSR over five years, coming in at 13% per year, is even more impressive. The pessimistic view would be that be that the stock has its best days behind it, but on the other hand the price might simply be moderating while the business itself continues to execute. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Kite Realty Group Trust better, we need to consider many other factors. Consider risks, for instance.
