One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS). \n During the five years over which the share price declined, Singapore Post's earnings per share (EPS) dropped by 13% each year. This fall in the EPS is worse than the 9% compound annual share price fall. So the market may previously have expected a drop, or else it expects the situation will improve. \n The image below shows how EPS has tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). \n\n\n\n  SGX:S08 Earnings Per Share Growth November 29th 2024\n \n\n We know that Singapore Post has improved its bottom line lately, but is it going to grow revenue? You could check out this free report showing analyst revenue forecasts. \nWhat About Dividends?\n When looking at investment returns, it is important to consider the difference between total shareholder return (TSR) and share price return. The TSR is a return calculation that accounts for the value of cash dividends (assuming that any dividend received was reinvested) and the calculated value of any discounted capital raisings and spin-offs. Arguably, the TSR gives a more comprehensive picture of the return generated by a stock. As it happens, Singapore Post's TSR for the last 5 years was -31%, which exceeds the share price return mentioned earlier. And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence! \nA Different Perspective\n It's nice to see that Singapore Post shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 31% over the last year. Of course, that includes the dividend. Notably the five-year annualised TSR loss of 6% per year compares very unfavourably with the recent share price performance. We generally put more weight on the long term performance over the short term, but the recent improvement could hint at a (positive) inflection point within the 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. Consider for instance, the ever-present spectre of investment risk.
