The NewGLABLTD (KOSDAQ:214870) Share Price Has Gained 274%, So Why Not Pay It Some Attention?

What about the Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?

We'd be remiss not to mention the difference between NewGLABLTD's total shareholder return (TSR) and its share price return. Arguably the TSR is a more complete return calculation because it accounts for the value of dividends (as if they were reinvested), along with the hypothetical value of any discounted capital that have been offered to shareholders. NewGLABLTD hasn't been paying dividends, but its TSR of 277% exceeds its share price return of 274%, implying it has either spun-off a business, or raised capital at a discount; thereby providing additional value to shareholders.

A Different Perspective

NewGLABLTD's TSR for the year was broadly in line with the market average, at 34%. Most would be happy with a gain, and it helps that the year's return is actually better than the average return over five years, which was 30%. It is possible that management foresight will bring growth well into the future, even if the share price slows down. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term.
