While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price.

During the five years over which the share price declined, Fibra MtyP.I. de's earnings per share (EPS) dropped by 25% each year. This fall in the EPS is worse than the 2% compound annual share price fall. So the market may previously have expected a drop, or else it expects the situation will improve.

What About Dividends?

It is important to consider the total shareholder return, as well as the share price return, for any given stock. The TSR is a return calculation that accounts for the value of cash dividends (assuming that any dividend received was reinvested) and the calculated value of any discounted capital raisings and spin-offs. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. As it happens, Fibra MtyP.I. de's TSR for the last 5 years was 40%, which exceeds the share price return mentioned earlier. This is largely a result of its dividend payments!
