Net 1 UEPS Technologies is a provider of financial technology products and services to unbanked and underbanked individuals and small businesses in South Africa. Co. has developed and owns most of its payment technologies, and where possible, utilizes this technology to provide financial services to its customers by including them into the formal financial system. Co.'s main payment technology is called the Universal Electronic Payment System (UEPS), and its EMV interoperable derivative, UEPS/EMV, which utilizes a form of distributed ledger technology, providing decentralized and biometrically secure smart cards that operate in real-time but both off-line and on-line. The UEPS stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the UEPS stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2017 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the UEPS annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
