Outstanding development at Liechtensteinische Landesbank – Maximum share price performance at Equinor – Strong rise for SanDisk
Switzerland
The securities of Liechtensteinische Landesbank (ticker symbol: LLBN SW) are performing excellently: +24.28% over the last twelve months. The book value per share could increase from CHF 68.62 to CHF 81.80 in the period between 2021 and 2027, which would be exceptional. In the same period, the dividend would rise from CHF 2.3 to CHF 2.9 and could thus increase the attractiveness of the CHF 3 billion share. The dividend should be reinvested in new securities every year.
