Shareholders Are Thrilled That The UNISEM (KOSDAQ:036200) Share Price Increased 104%

When you buy shares in a company, there is always a risk that the price drops to zero. But if you pick the right business to buy shares in, you can make more than you can lose. For example, the UNISEM Co., Ltd. (KOSDAQ:036200) share price has soared 104% return in just a single year. It's also good to see the share price up 58% over the last quarter. Also impressive, the stock is up 34% over three years, making long term shareholders happy, too.

While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement.

During the last year UNISEM grew its earnings per share (EPS) by 145%. It's fair to say that the share price gain of 104% did not keep pace with the EPS growth. So it seems like the market has cooled on UNISEM, despite the growth. Interesting.

A Different Perspective

We're pleased to report that UNISEM shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 106% over one year. And that does include the dividend. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 7% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. Given the share price momentum remains strong, it might be worth taking a closer look at the stock, lest you miss an opportunity. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too.
