Globrands (TLV:GLRS) Has Compensated Shareholders With A Respectable 33% Return On Their Investment

These days it's easy to simply buy an index fund, and your returns should (roughly) match the market. But if you pick the right individual stocks, you could make more than that. For example, the Globrands Ltd. (TLV:GLRS) share price is up 10% in the last year, clearly besting the market return of around 0.6% (not including dividends). That's a solid performance by our standards! Note that businesses generally develop over the long term, so the returns over the last year might not reflect a long term trend.

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.

Globrands was able to grow EPS by 4.7% in the last twelve months. This EPS growth is significantly lower than the 10% increase in the share price. So it's fair to assume the market has a higher opinion of the business than it a year ago.

What About Dividends?

As well as measuring the share price return, investors should also consider the total shareholder return (TSR). 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. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. We note that for Globrands the TSR over the last year was 33%, which is better than the share price return mentioned above. This is largely a result of its dividend payments!

A Different Perspective

Globrands boasts a total shareholder return of 33% for the last year (that includes the dividends) . That's better than the more recent three month gain of 3.9%, implying that share price has plateaued recently. It seems likely the market is waiting on fundamental developments with the business before pushing the share price higher (or lower). 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.
