But every investor is virtually certain to have both over-performing and under-performing stocks.  At this point some shareholders may be questioning their investment in MTR Corporation Limited (HKG:66), since the last five years saw the share price fall 40%.      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.    Check out our latest analysis for MTR   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.   During five years of share price growth, MTR moved from a loss to profitability.    Most would consider that to be a good thing, so it's counter-intuitive to see the share price declining.   Other metrics might give us a better handle on how its value is changing over time.  The steady dividend doesn't really explain why the share price is down.   While it's not completely obvious why the share price is down, a closer look at the company's history might help explain it.       The image below shows how earnings and revenue have tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). SEHK:66 Earnings and Revenue Growth December 16th 2024 MTR is a well known stock, with plenty of analyst coverage, suggesting some visibility into future growth.  So we recommend checking out this free report showing consensus forecasts  What About Dividends? As well as measuring the share price return, investors should also consider the total shareholder return (TSR).  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.  It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend.  In the case of MTR, it has a TSR of -28% for the last 5 years. That exceeds its share price return that we previously mentioned.  And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence!  A Different Perspective Investors in MTR had a tough year, with a total loss of 2.6% (including dividends), against a market gain of about 23%.  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.    However, the loss over the last year isn't as bad as the 5% per annum loss investors have suffered over the last half decade.  We would want clear information suggesting the company will grow, before taking the view that the share price will stabilize.       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.
