Shareholders Are Raving About How The Intellian Technologies (KOSDAQ:189300) Share Price Increased 431%

It might be of some concern to shareholders to see the Intellian Technologies, Inc. (KOSDAQ:189300) share price down 14% in the last month. But over the last three years the stock has shone bright like a diamond. Over that time, we've been excited to watch the share price climb an impressive 431%. Arguably, the recent fall is to be expected after such a strong rise. The share price action could signify that the business itself is dramatically improved, in that time.

While Intellian Technologies made a small profit, in the last year, we think that the market is probably more focussed on the top line growth at the moment. Generally speaking, we'd consider a stock like this alongside loss-making companies, simply because the quantum of the profit is so low. For shareholders to have confidence a company will grow profits significantly, it must grow revenue.

Intellian Technologies' revenue trended up 10% each year over three years. That's a very respectable growth rate. Some shareholders might think that the share price rise of 74% per year is a lucky result, considering the level of revenue growth. A hot stock like this is usually well worth taking a closer look at, as long as you don't let the fear of missing out (FOMO) impact your thinking.

What About Dividends?

It is important to consider the total shareholder return, as well as the share price return, for any given stock. 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. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. As it happens, Intellian Technologies' TSR for the last 3 years was 437%, which exceeds the share price return mentioned earlier. And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence!

A Different Perspective

We're pleased to report that Intellian Technologies rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 152% over the last year. That includes the value of the dividend. So this year's TSR was actually better than the three-year TSR (annualized) of 75%. These improved returns may hint at some real business momentum, implying that now could be a great time to delve deeper. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important.
