Did MTG perform worse than its track record and industry?
I prefer to use the ‘latest twelve-month’ data, which annualizes the most recent half-year data, or in some cases, the latest annual report is already the most recent financial year data. This enables me to analyze many different companies in a uniform manner using the latest information. For Meier Tobler Group, its latest earnings (trailing twelve month) is -CHF3.06M, which compared to the previous year's figure, has turned from positive to negative. Since these figures may be fairly short-term, I’ve estimated an annualized five-year value for Meier Tobler Group's earnings, which stands at CHF24.50M.
What does this mean?
