Investors in Dynasty Fine Wines Group (HKG:828) from five years ago are still down 56%, even after 13% gain this past week

This month, we saw the Dynasty Fine Wines Group Limited (HKG:828) up an impressive 35%. But that can't change the reality that over the longer term (five years), the returns have been really quite dismal. In that time the share price has delivered a rude shock to holders, who find themselves down 56% after a long stretch. So we're hesitant to put much weight behind the short term increase. But it could be that the fall was overdone.

While the stock has risen 13% in the past week but long term shareholders are still in the red, let's see what the fundamentals can tell us.

To quote Buffett, 'Ships will sail around the world but the Flat Earth Society will flourish. There will continue to be wide discrepancies between price and value in the marketplace...' By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time.

Dynasty Fine Wines Group became profitable within the last five years. That would generally be considered a positive, so we are surprised to see the share price is down. Other metrics might give us a better handle on how its value is changing over time.

Arguably, the revenue drop of 4.8% a year for half a decade suggests that the company can't grow in the long term. This has probably encouraged some shareholders to sell down the stock.

We're pleased to report that the CEO is remunerated more modestly than most CEOs at similarly capitalized companies.

A Different Perspective

It's good to see that Dynasty Fine Wines Group has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 22% in the last twelve months. Notably the five-year annualised TSR loss of 9% per year compares very unfavourably with the recent share price performance. This makes us a little wary, but the business might have turned around its fortunes. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important.
