How Much Did Coloray International Investment's(KOSDAQ:900310) Shareholders Earn From Share Price Movements Over The Last Three Years?

Coloray International Investment Co., Ltd. (KOSDAQ:900310) shareholders should be happy to see the share price up 17% in the last quarter. But that doesn't help the fact that the three year return is less impressive. Truth be told the share price declined 40% in three years and that return, Dear Reader, falls short of what you could have got from passive investing with an index fund.

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.

Coloray International Investment saw its EPS decline at a compound rate of 14% per year, over the last three years. This fall in EPS isn't far from the rate of share price decline, which was 16% per year.

A Different Perspective

Coloray International Investment produced a TSR of 2.9% over the last year. Unfortunately this falls short of the market return of around 43%. On the bright side, that's certainly better than the yearly loss of about 11% endured over the last three years, implying that the company is doing better recently. We hope the turnaround in fortunes continues. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance.
