LVMC Holdings'(KRX:900140) Share Price Is Down 64% Over The Past Five Years.

LVMC Holdings (KRX:900140) shareholders should be happy to see the share price up 20% in the last month. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last half decade have been disappointing. Indeed, the share price is down 64% in the period. So is the recent increase sufficient to restore confidence in the stock? Not yet. But it could be that the fall was overdone.

View our latest analysis for LVMC Holdings

Given that LVMC Holdings didn't make a profit in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit.

Over half a decade LVMC Holdings reduced its trailing twelve month revenue by 7.0% for each year. While far from catastrophic that is not good. With neither profit nor revenue growth, the loss of 10% per year doesn't really surprise us. The chance of imminent investor enthusiasm for this stock seems slimmer than Louise Brooks. Ultimately, it may be worth watching - should revenue pick up, the share price might follow.

What about the Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?

The TSR attempts to capture the value of dividends (as if they were reinvested) as well as any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings offered to shareholders. LVMC Holdings' TSR of was a loss of 55% for the 5 years. That wasn't as bad as its share price return, because it has paid dividends.

A Different Perspective

LVMC Holdings shareholders gained a total return of 2.6% during the year. Unfortunately this falls short of the market return. On the bright side, that's still a gain, and it is certainly better than the yearly loss of about 9% endured over half a decade. So this might be a sign the business has turned its fortunes around. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand LVMC Holdings better, we need to consider many other factors. Consider risks, for instance.
