Recent 13% pullback isn't enough to hurt long-term Ying Li International Real Estate (SGX:5DM) shareholders, they're still up 100% over 1 year

It might be of some concern to shareholders to see the Ying Li International Real Estate Limited (SGX:5DM) share price down 24% in the last month. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last year have been pleasing. In that time we've seen the stock easily surpass the market return, with a gain of 100%.

While this past week has detracted from the company's one-year return, let's look at the recent trends of the underlying business and see if the gains have been in alignment.

In the last year Ying Li International Real Estate saw its revenue grow by 20%. We respect that sort of growth, no doubt. Buyers pushed the share price 100% in response, which isn't unreasonable.

A Different Perspective

It's good to see that Ying Li International Real Estate has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 100% in the last twelve months. Notably the five-year annualised TSR loss of 11% per year compares very unfavourably with the recent share price performance. 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.
