Investors in Tingsvalvet Fastighets (STO:TINGS A) from three years ago are still down 60%, even after 11% gain this past week

Simply Wall St

This week we saw the Tingsvalvet Fastighets AB (publ) (STO:TINGS A) share price climb by 11%. Meanwhile over the last three years the stock has dropped hard. Indeed, the share price is down a tragic 64% in the last three years. So the improvement may be a real relief to some. Perhaps the company has turned over a new leaf.

While the last three years has been tough for Tingsvalvet Fastighets shareholders, this past week has shown signs of promise. So let's look at the longer term fundamentals and see if they've been the driver of the negative returns.

To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. 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.

Tingsvalvet Fastighets became profitable within the last five years. We would usually expect to see the share price rise as a result. So given the share price is down it's worth checking some other metrics too.

Revenue is actually up 38% over the three years, so the share price drop doesn't seem to hinge on revenue, either. It's probably worth investigating Tingsvalvet Fastighets further; while we may be missing something on this analysis, there might also be an opportunity.

What About The Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?

Investors should note that there's a difference between Tingsvalvet Fastighets' total shareholder return (TSR) and its share price change, which we've covered above. 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. Tingsvalvet Fastighets' TSR of was a loss of 60% for the 3 years. That wasn't as bad as its share price return, because it has paid dividends.

A Different Perspective

It's nice to see that Tingsvalvet Fastighets shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 8.0% over the last year. That certainly beats the loss of about 9% per year over the last half decade. The long term loss makes us cautious, but the short term TSR gain certainly hints at a brighter future. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Tingsvalvet Fastighets better, we need to consider many other factors.
