Ltd. (HKG:2869) shareholders should be happy to see the share price up 13% in the last month.    But over the last three years we've seen a quite serious decline.  In that time, the share price dropped 67%.  So it is really good to see an improvement.  The rise has some hopeful, but turnarounds are often precarious.      On a more encouraging note the company has added HK$443m to its market cap in just the last 7 days, so let's see if we can determine what's driven the three-year loss for shareholders.   View our latest analysis for Greentown Service Group   While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational.  One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement.   Greentown Service Group saw its EPS decline at a compound rate of 3.4% per year, over the last three years.   The share price decline of 31% is actually steeper than the EPS slippage.  So it's likely that the EPS decline has disappointed the market, leaving investors hesitant to buy.   The image below shows how EPS has tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). SEHK:2869 Earnings Per Share Growth March 14th 2024 Dive deeper into Greentown Service Group's key metrics by checking this interactive graph of Greentown Service Group's earnings, revenue and cash flow.  What About Dividends? As well as measuring the share price return, investors should also consider the total shareholder return (TSR).  Whereas the share price return only reflects the change in the share price, the TSR includes the value of dividends (assuming they were reinvested) and the benefit of any discounted capital raising or spin-off.  It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend.  We note that for Greentown Service Group the TSR over the last 3 years was -65%, which is better than the share price return mentioned above.  The dividends paid by the company have thusly boosted the total shareholder return.  A Different Perspective We regret to report that Greentown Service Group shareholders are down 40% for the year (even including dividends). Unfortunately, that's worse than the broader market decline of 6.6%.  However, it could simply be that the share price has been impacted by broader market jitters. It might be worth keeping an eye on the fundamentals, in case there's a good opportunity.     Unfortunately, last year's performance may indicate unresolved challenges, given that it was worse than the annualised loss of 9% over the last half decade.  Generally speaking long term share price weakness can be a bad sign, though contrarian investors might want to research the stock in hope of a turnaround.        While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important.
