But in any portfolio, there will be mixed results between individual stocks.  At this point some shareholders may be questioning their investment in Medtronic plc (NYSE:MDT), since the last five years saw the share price fall 28%.     It's worthwhile assessing if the company's economics have been moving in lockstep with these underwhelming shareholder returns, or if there is some disparity between the two. So let's do just that.   See our latest analysis for Medtronic   While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just 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 five years over which the share price declined, Medtronic's earnings per share (EPS) dropped by 1.2% each year.   Readers should note that the share price has fallen faster than the EPS, at a rate of 6% per year, over the period.  This implies that the market is more cautious about the business these days.   The company's earnings per share (over time) is depicted in the image below (click to see the exact numbers). NYSE:MDT Earnings Per Share Growth December 16th 2024 Before buying or selling a stock, we always recommend a close examination of historic growth trends, available here.  What About Dividends? It is important to consider the total shareholder return, as well as the share price return, for any given stock.  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 Medtronic, it has a TSR of -17% for the last 5 years. That exceeds its share price return that we previously mentioned.  The dividends paid by the company have thusly boosted the total shareholder return.  A Different Perspective Medtronic shareholders gained a total return of 2.7% during the year.  But that was short of the market average.    On the bright side, that's still a gain, and it is certainly better than the yearly loss of about 3% endured over half a decade.  It could well be that the business is stabilizing.        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.
