Key points

  • The Evolution Mining share price has taken off over the last 10 years, gaining 122% in that time
  • Interestingly, it was a little under 10 years ago that the company declared its maiden dividend
  • Since then, it's handed out 64 cents of dividends per share 

It's been 10 years since Evolution Mining Ltd (ASX: EVN) introduced its revenue-linked dividend policy, and it's provided those invested in its shares with more than 20 payouts since. In the meantime, stock in the gold producer has risen 122%.

Indeed, a $1,000 investment in Evolution Mining shares in February 2013 likely would have bought 800 securities at $1.25 apiece.

Today, that parcel would be worth $2,224. The Evolution Mining share price last closed at $2.78.

For comparison, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) has gained around 45% in that time.

But how much have long-term Evolution Mining investors made when it comes to dividends? Let's take a look.

As the chart above shows, each Evolution Mining share has yielded 64 cents of dividends since the company's maiden payout.

That means our figurative $1,000 parcel has probably provided $552 of passive income over its life – bringing its return on investment (ROI) to 178%.

And, of course, if an investor were to have reinvested their dividends, they could have realised further gains through the power of compounding.

Not to mention, all Evolution Mining dividends since September 2017 have been fully franked. Thus, they've had the potential to bring tax benefits.

Right now, Evolution Mining shares boast a 2.16% dividend yield.

The ASX 200 company also declared its next dividend last week. It comes in at 2 cents per share and will be paid in June.
