The 10% return this week takes Chia Tai Enterprises International's (HKG:3839) shareholders three-year gains to 998%
It hasn't been the best quarter for Chia Tai Enterprises International Limited (HKG:3839) shareholders, since the share price has fallen 16% in that time. But over three years the performance has been really wonderful. Over that time, we've been excited to watch the share price climb an impressive 998%. Arguably, the recent fall is to be expected after such a strong rise. Only time will tell if there is still too much optimism currently reflected in the share price. It really delights us to see such great share price performance for investors.
The past week has proven to be lucrative for Chia Tai Enterprises International investors, so let's see if fundamentals drove the company's three-year performance.
There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect 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.
A Different Perspective
We're pleased to report that Chia Tai Enterprises International shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 387% over one year. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 37% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. Given the share price momentum remains strong, it might be worth taking a closer look at the stock, lest you miss an opportunity.
