That would certainly shake our confidence in the decision to own the stock. And over the last year the share price fell 45%, so we doubt many shareholders are delighted. \n Since shareholders are down over the longer term, lets look at the underlying fundamentals over the that time and see if they've been consistent with returns. \n See our latest analysis for Del Monte Pacific \n Del Monte Pacific wasn't profitable in the last twelve months, it is unlikely we'll see a strong correlation between its share price and its earnings per share (EPS). Arguably revenue is our next best option. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually desire strong revenue growth. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit. \n In the last three years, Del Monte Pacific saw its revenue grow by 3.3% per year, compound. That's not a very high growth rate considering it doesn't make profits. Nonetheless, it's fair to say the rapidly declining share price (down 21%, compound, over three years) suggests the market is very disappointed with this level of growth. We generally don't try to 'catch the falling knife'. Of course, revenue growth is nice but generally speaking the lower the profits, the riskier the business - and this business isn't making steady profits. \n The company's revenue and earnings (over time) are depicted in the image below (click to see the exact numbers). \n\n\n\n  SGX:D03 Earnings and Revenue Growth November 1st 2024\n \n\n Take a more thorough look at Del Monte Pacific's financial health with this free report on its balance sheet. \nA Different Perspective\n While the broader market gained around 18% in the last year, Del Monte Pacific shareholders lost 45%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. Unfortunately, last year's performance may indicate unresolved challenges, given that it was worse than the annualised loss of 2% 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. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too.
