Over the last five years, M&T Bank (NYSE:MTB) shareholders have seen a total return of 79%, significantly outperforming the 53% increase in share price and 12% annual EPS growth. This discrepancy is largely attributed to the company’s dividend payments, which are included in the total shareholder return (TSR). While the market’s enthusiasm for the stock may have waned given the lower share price gain compared to EPS growth, the recent 19% TSR over the last year suggests a positive shift in sentiment.
