What about the Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?

We'd be remiss not to mention the difference between Fattal Holdings (1998)'s total shareholder return (TSR) and its share price return. The TSR is a return calculation that accounts for the value of cash dividends (assuming that any dividend received was reinvested) and the calculated value of any discounted capital raisings and spin-offs. We note that Fattal Holdings (1998)'s TSR, at 7.9% is higher than its share price return of -11%. When you consider it hasn't been paying a dividend, this data suggests shareholders have benefitted from a spin-off, or had the opportunity to acquire attractively priced shares in a discounted capital raising.

A Different Perspective

Fattal Holdings (1998) produced a TSR of 7.9% over the last year. It's always nice to make money but this return falls short of the market return which was about 9.2% for the year. But the (superior) three-year TSR of 8% per year is some consolation. Even the best companies don't see strong share price performance every year. 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.
