SHAREHOLDER VALUE
Long-term shareholder value
The Volvo Group’s origins can be traced to 1927,
when the first serial produced Volvo car rolled
out of the factory in Gothenburg, Sweden. The
first serial produced truck saw the light of day in
1928 and was an immediate success. In 1935,
AB Volvo was listed on the Stockholm Stock
Exchange. All through its history, the Volvo
Group has strived to create long-term value for
ist shareholders.
The graph shows the total return for the Volvo B
share, measured as the share price development
with all dividends re-invested, since December 30,
1982, which is as far back as the comparison
index, SIX Return Index, stretches. SIX Return
Index measures the total return for the Stockholm
Stock Exchange as whole.
The graph shows that SEK 1,000 invested in
the Volvo B-share in 1982 had grown to SEK
60,200 at the end of 2012, under the condition
that all dividends have been reinvested in Volvo
B shares.
The Volvo Group strives to create long-term value for its shareholders.
