Indeed. Very red indeed. Over a longer term horizon, should be still good investment. Still wish to believe strong fundamentals are essential for sustainability and profitability.

  I believe that Wilmar will be fine long term.

  Just a temporary setback.

But in any portfolio, there are likely to be some stocks that fall short of that benchmark.  We regret to report that long term Wilmar International Limited (SGX:F34) shareholders have had that experience, with the share price dropping 28% in three years, versus a market decline of about 15%.     Even worse, it's down 8.5% in about a month, which isn't fun at all.       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.    See our latest analysis for Wilmar International   There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance.  One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price.   During the three years that the share price fell, Wilmar International's earnings per share (EPS) dropped by 2.1% each year.   The share price decline of 10% 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 less favorable sentiment is reflected in its current P/E ratio of 9.39.    The company's earnings per share (over time) is depicted in the image below (click to see the exact numbers). SGX:F34 Earnings Per Share Growth November 6th 2024 We like that insiders have been buying shares in the last twelve months.  Even so, future earnings will be far more important to whether current shareholders make money.  Dive deeper into the earnings by checking this interactive graph of Wilmar International's earnings, revenue and cash flow.  What About Dividends? It is important to consider the total shareholder return, as well as the share price return, for any given stock.  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.  As it happens, Wilmar International's TSR for the last 3 years was -18%, which exceeds the share price return mentioned earlier.  The dividends paid by the company have thusly boosted the total shareholder return.  A Different Perspective Investors in Wilmar International had a tough year, with a total loss of 8.5% (including dividends), against a market gain of about 16%.  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.     Regrettably, last year's performance caps off a bad run, with the shareholders facing a total loss of 0.6% per year over five years.  We realise that Baron Rothschild has said investors should \"buy when there is blood on the streets\", but we caution that investors should first be sure they are buying a high quality business.        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.   For instance, we've identified   2 warning signs for Wilmar International (1 is concerning)  that you should be aware of.    There are plenty of other companies that have insiders buying up shares. You probably do not want to miss this free list of undervalued small cap companies that insiders are buying.

But in any portfolio, there are likely to be some stocks that fall short of that benchmark.  We regret to report that long term Wilmar International Limited (SGX:F34) shareholders have had that experience, with the share price dropping 28% in three years, versus a market decline of about 15%.     Even worse, it's down 8.5% in about a month, which isn't fun at all.       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.    See our latest analysis for Wilmar International   There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance.  One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price.   During the three years that the share price fell, Wilmar International's earnings per share (EPS) dropped by 2.1% each year.   The share price decline of 10% 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 less favorable sentiment is reflected in its current P/E ratio of 9.39.    The company's earnings per share (over time) is depicted in the image below (click to see the exact numbers). SGX:F34 Earnings Per Share Growth November 6th 2024 We like that insiders have been buying shares in the last twelve months.  Even so, future earnings will be far more important to whether current shareholders make money.  Dive deeper into the earnings by checking this interactive graph of Wilmar International's earnings, revenue and cash flow.  What About Dividends? It is important to consider the total shareholder return, as well as the share price return, for any given stock.  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.  As it happens, Wilmar International's TSR for the last 3 years was -18%, which exceeds the share price return mentioned earlier.  The dividends paid by the company have thusly boosted the total shareholder return.  A Different Perspective Investors in Wilmar International had a tough year, with a total loss of 8.5% (including dividends), against a market gain of about 16%.  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.     Regrettably, last year's performance caps off a bad run, with the shareholders facing a total loss of 0.6% per year over five years.  We realise that Baron Rothschild has said investors should \"buy when there is blood on the streets\", but we caution that investors should first be sure they are buying a high quality business.        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.
