GOLD FIELDS SHARE PRICE 2010-2020
During 2020, our share price on both the JSE and NYSE improved by 46% and 42% respectively, on the back of respective increases of 94% and 88% during 2019. While the shares have retreated from their record highs reached in August 2020, when the gold price hit its all-time high of US$2,070/oz, we are still offering shareholders substantive returns and healthy dividends. Shareholders who owned 1,000 Gold Fields shares on 1 January 2010, held on to the 1,000 Sibanye Gold stocks (now Sibanye-Stillwater) they would have been awarded after its unbundling in February 2013, would have been rewarded with a total return of 105% by 31 December 2020. That is an annual return of 7% on their investment.
