The Bank of Queensland Ltd (ASX: BOQ) share price has struggled to keep up with the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) over the last decade.

$1,000 likely would have bought 123 Bank of Queensland shares in January 2013. Then, the bank’s stock was trading at around $8.10.

Today, the Bank of Queensland share price is around 14% lower at $6.93, leaving our figurative parcel valued at just $852.39.

For comparison, the ASX 200 has gained nearly 55% over the last decade.

But have the dividends on offer from Bank of Queensland made up for its share price’s sluggishness? Let’s take a look.
