But over the last three years we've seen a quite serious decline.  In that time, the share price dropped 65%.  So it's good to see it climbing back up.  While many would remain nervous, there could be further gains if the business can put its best foot forward.      If the past week is anything to go by, investor sentiment for China National Building Material isn't positive, so let's see if there's a mismatch between fundamentals and the share price.   Check out our latest analysis for China National Building Material   In his essay The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville Warren Buffett described how share prices do not always rationally reflect the value of a business.  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, China National Building Material's earnings per share (EPS) dropped by 63% each year.   In comparison the 30% compound annual share price decline isn't as bad as the EPS drop-off.  This suggests that the market retains some optimism around long term earnings stability, despite past EPS declines.   The graphic below depicts how EPS has changed over time (unveil the exact values by clicking on the image). SEHK:3323 Earnings Per Share Growth November 17th 2024 This free interactive report on China National Building Material's earnings, revenue and cash flow is a great place to start, if you want to investigate the stock further.   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.  So for companies that pay a generous dividend, the TSR is often a lot higher than the share price return.  As it happens, China National Building Material's TSR for the last 3 years was -56%, which exceeds the share price return mentioned earlier.  This is largely a result of its dividend payments!  A Different Perspective Investors in China National Building Material had a tough year, with a total loss of 7.8% (including dividends), against a market gain of about 17%.  However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period.    Unfortunately, longer term shareholders are suffering worse, given the loss of 7% doled out over the last five years.  We would want clear information suggesting the company will grow, before taking the view that the share price will stabilize.       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.
