How Much Did Ten Lifestyle Group's(LON:TENG) Shareholders Earn From Share Price Movements Over The Last Three Years?

Ten Lifestyle Group Plc (LON:TENG) shareholders should be happy to see the share price up 27% in the last quarter. But that doesn't help the fact that the three year return is less impressive. In fact, the share price is down 41% in the last three years, falling well short of the market return.

Ten Lifestyle Group wasn't profitable in the last twelve months, it is unlikely we'll see a strong correlation between its share price and its earnings per share (EPS). Arguably revenue is our next best option. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit.

Over three years, Ten Lifestyle Group grew revenue at 13% per year. That's a pretty good rate of top-line growth. Shareholders have seen the share price fall at 12% per year, for three years. This implies the market had higher expectations of Ten Lifestyle Group. However, that's in the past now, and it's the future is more important - and the future looks brighter (based on revenue, anyway).

A Different Perspective

Ten Lifestyle Group shareholders are down 27% for the year, falling short of the market return. Meanwhile, the broader market slid about 5.1%, likely weighing on the stock. The three-year loss of 12% per year isn't as bad as the last twelve months, suggesting that the company has not been able to convince the market it has solved its problems. We would be wary of buying into a company with unsolved problems, although some investors will buy into struggling stocks if they believe the price is sufficiently attractive.
