Abdulmohsen Al-Hokair Group for Tourism and Development (TADAWUL:1820) Share Prices Have Dropped 54% In The Last Five Years

It is doubtless a positive to see that the Abdulmohsen Al-Hokair Group for Tourism and Development Company (TADAWUL:1820) share price has gained some 72% in the last three months. But that can't change the reality that over the longer term (five years), the returns have been really quite dismal. Indeed, the share price is down 54% in the period. So we're hesitant to put much weight behind the short term increase. But it could be that the fall was overdone.

View our latest analysis for Abdulmohsen Al-Hokair Group for Tourism and Development

Abdulmohsen Al-Hokair Group for Tourism and Development wasn't profitable in the last twelve months, it is unlikely we'll see a strong correlation between its share price and its earnings per share (EPS). Arguably revenue is our next best option. 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.

In the last five years Abdulmohsen Al-Hokair Group for Tourism and Development saw its revenue shrink by 3.6% per year. That's not what investors generally want to see. The share price decline of 9% compound, over five years, is understandable given the company is losing money, and revenue is moving in the wrong direction. We don't think anyone is rushing to buy this stock. Not that many investors like to invest in companies that are losing money and not growing revenue.

What about the Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?

Investors should note that there's a difference between Abdulmohsen Al-Hokair Group for Tourism and Development's total shareholder return (TSR) and its share price change, which we've covered above. 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. Its history of dividend payouts mean that Abdulmohsen Al-Hokair Group for Tourism and Development's TSR, which was a 51% drop over the last 5 years, was not as bad as the share price return.

A Different Perspective

It's good to see that Abdulmohsen Al-Hokair Group for Tourism and Development has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 21% in the last twelve months.
