Total Shareholder Return (TSR)

Total Shareholder Return (TSR) is a comprehensive performance metric that measures the total return an investor receives from holding a stock over a specific period. The calculation includes the change in stock price (capital appreciation) and any dividends paid, divided by the initial stock price. It reflects a company's ability to generate market value and provide cash returns, making it a key indicator of value creation for shareholders.

Under the framework of the Financial Supervisory Commission's "Corporate Governance 3.0 - Sustainable Development Roadmap," Taiwan's capital market increasingly emphasizes shareholder rights and long-term corporate value. TSR is a key metric for both domestic and foreign institutional investors in evaluating corporate performance and management competence. Low TSR can lead to a lack of market confidence, difficulties in financing, and even risks to management control, making it a critical indicator for sustainable operations and aligning with international standards.

While TSR is not a direct requirement of any specific ISO clause, its spirit is closely linked to several international standards. For instance, a core principle of **ISO 31000:2018 Risk management** is to "create and protect value," which TSR quantifies. Furthermore, **ISO 37000:2021 Governance of organizations** emphasizes that an organization's purpose should be "value generation" (Clause 4.2) and its performance monitored (Clause 4.4), for which TSR is a key performance indicator.
