  • AGL Energy Shares Down 17% in Past Year Despite 3-Year Gains
    February 3, 2026, 5:52 PM EST. AGL Energy Limited (ASX:AGL) faced a tough year with its share price dropping 21%, far underperforming the market's 8.5% gain. Including dividends, total shareholder return (TSR) was negative 17%. The company slipped into a loss-making position, which weighed on investor sentiment. However, AGL's shares rose 15% over three years and its five-year annualized return stands at 1.7%. Insider buying has increased, suggesting confidence. TSR accounts for dividends reinvested, offering a fuller return picture. While short-term performance disappointed, long-term investors might find value if fundamentals improve. Market watchers are advised to review earnings and cash flow trends for signs of recovery amid recent sell-offs.
