360 One Wam's (NSE:360ONE) earnings growth rate lags the 32% CAGR delivered to shareholders
360 One Wam Limited (NSE:360ONE) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 29% in the last quarter. But in stark contrast, the returns over the last half decade have impressed. It's fair to say most would be happy with 242% the gain in that time. So while it's never fun to see a share price fall, it's important to look at a longer time horizon. Ultimately business performance will determine whether the stock price continues the positive long term trend.
Since the long term performance has been good but there's been a recent pullback of 14%, let's check if the fundamentals match the share price.
Check out our latest analysis for 360 One Wam
While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price.
During five years of share price growth, 360 One Wam achieved compound earnings per share (EPS) growth of 25% per year. This EPS growth is reasonably close to the 28% average annual increase in the share price. Therefore one could conclude that sentiment towards the shares hasn't morphed very much. Rather, the share price has approximately tracked EPS growth.

What About The Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?
We'd be remiss not to mention the difference between 360 One Wam'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. Its history of dividend payouts mean that 360 One Wam's TSR of 307% over the last 5 years is better than the share price return.
A Different Perspective
It's good to see that 360 One Wam has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 22% in the last twelve months. Having said that, the five-year TSR of 32% a year, is even better. The pessimistic view would be that be that the stock has its best days behind it, but on the other hand the price might simply be moderating while the business itself continues to execute. 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. Consider for instance, the ever-present spectre of investment risk.
