While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS).

Over the last three years, Fastighets AB Trianon failed to grow earnings per share, which fell 1.7% (annualized).

Given the share price resilience, we don't think the (declining) EPS numbers are a good measure of how the business is moving forward, right now. So other metrics may hold the key to understanding what is influencing investors.

It may well be that Fastighets AB Trianon revenue growth rate of 25% over three years has convinced shareholders to believe in a brighter future. If the company is being managed for the long term good, today's shareholders might be right to hold on.

What about the Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?

We'd be remiss not to mention the difference between Fastighets AB Trianon's total shareholder return (TSR) and its share price return. 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. Dividends have been really beneficial for Fastighets AB Trianon shareholders, and that cash payout contributed to why its TSR of 183%, over the last 3 years, is better than the share price return.

A Different Perspective

We're pleased to report that Fastighets AB Trianon rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 33% over the last year. That falls short of the 41% it has made, for shareholders, each year, over three years. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Fastighets AB Trianon better, we need to consider many other factors.
