While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. 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.

During five years of share price growth, Nakabohtec Corrosion ProtectingLtd achieved compound earnings per share (EPS) growth of 6.8% per year. This EPS growth is lower than the 16% average annual increase in the share price. So it's fair to assume the market has a higher opinion of the business than it did five years ago. And that's hardly shocking given the track record of growth.

What about the Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?

Investors should note that there's a difference between Nakabohtec Corrosion ProtectingLtd's total shareholder return (TSR) and its share price change, which we've covered above. 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 Nakabohtec Corrosion ProtectingLtd's TSR of 161% over the last 5 years is better than the share price return.
