NAU IB Capital (KOSDAQ:293580) Shareholders Booked A 84% Gain In The Last Year

Passive investing in index funds can generate returns that roughly match the overall market. But if you pick the right individual stocks, you could make more than that. To wit, the NAU IB Capital (KOSDAQ:293580) share price is 84% higher than it was a year ago, much better than the market return of around 45% (not including dividends) in the same period. That's a solid performance by our standards! NAU IB Capital hasn't been listed for long, so it's still not clear if it is a long term winner.

Check out our latest analysis for NAU IB Capital

In his essay The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville Warren Buffett described how share prices do not always rationally reflect the value of a business. 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.

NAU IB Capital was able to grow EPS by 80% in the last twelve months. The similarity between the EPS growth and the 84% share price gain really stands out. This makes us think the market hasn't really changed its sentiment around the company, in the last year. It looks like the share price is responding to the EPS.

What About Dividends?

When looking at investment returns, it is important to consider the difference between total shareholder return (TSR) and share price return. Whereas the share price return only reflects the change in the share price, the TSR includes the value of dividends (assuming they were reinvested) and the benefit of any discounted capital raising or spin-off. So for companies that pay a generous dividend, the TSR is often a lot higher than the share price return. In the case of NAU IB Capital, it has a TSR of 87% for the last year. That exceeds its share price return that we previously mentioned. This is largely a result of its dividend payments!

A Different Perspective

NAU IB Capital boasts a total shareholder return of 87% for the last year (that includes the dividends) . And the share price momentum remains respectable, with a gain of 49% in the last three months. Demand for the stock from multiple parties is pushing the price higher; it could be that word is getting out about its virtues as a business. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand NAU IB Capital better, we need to consider many other factors.
