But in any portfolio, there are likely to be some stocks that fall short of that benchmark. Unfortunately, that's been the case for longer term AMG Critical Materials N.V. (AMS:AMG) shareholders, since the share price is down 50% in the last three years, falling well short of the market decline of around 1.6%. The more recent news is of little comfort, with the share price down 39% in a year. The falls have accelerated recently, with the share price down 13% in the last three months. \n 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. \n Check out our latest analysis for AMG Critical Materials \n 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 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 Over the three years that the share price declined, AMG Critical Materials' earnings per share (EPS) dropped significantly, falling to a loss. This was, in part, due to extraordinary items impacting earnings. Since the company has fallen to a loss making position, it's hard to compare the change in EPS with the share price change. But it's safe to say we'd generally expect the share price to be lower as a result! \n You can see how EPS has changed over time in the image below (click on the chart to see the exact values). \n\n\n\n  ENXTAM:AMG Earnings Per Share Growth December 22nd 2024\n \n\n We consider it positive that insiders have made significant purchases in the last year. Having said that, most people consider earnings and revenue growth trends to be a more meaningful guide to the business. It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on AMG Critical Materials' earnings, revenue and cash flow. \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 incorporates the value of any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings, along with any dividends, based on the assumption that the dividends are reinvested. Arguably, the TSR gives a more comprehensive picture of the return generated by a stock. We note that for AMG Critical Materials the TSR over the last 3 years was -47%, which is better than the share price return mentioned above. And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence! \nA Different Perspective\n Investors in AMG Critical Materials had a tough year, with a total loss of 38% (including dividends), against a market gain of about 6.9%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. Unfortunately, last year's performance may indicate unresolved challenges, given that it was worse than the annualised loss of 5% over the last half decade. Generally speaking long term share price weakness can be a bad sign, though contrarian investors might want to research the stock in hope of a turnaround. 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 risks, for instance.
