What Are The Total Returns Earned By Shareholders Of Chuan Hup Holdings (SGX:C33) On Their Investment?

Ideally, your overall portfolio should beat the market average. But if you pick the right individual stocks, you could make more -- or less -- than that.

That's better than the market which declined 11% over the same time.

View our latest analysis for Chuan Hup Holdings

Chuan Hup Holdings isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

Over half a decade Chuan Hup Holdings reduced its trailing twelve month revenue by 41% for each year. That's definitely a weaker result than most pre-profit companies report. It seems pretty reasonable to us that the share price dipped 6% per year in that time. We doubt many shareholders are delighted with this share price performance. Risk averse investors probably wouldn't like this one much.

What about the Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?

We'd be remiss not to mention the difference between Chuan Hup Holdings' total shareholder return (TSR) and its share price return. 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. Its history of dividend payouts mean that Chuan Hup Holdings' TSR of 17% over the last 5 years is better than the share price return.

A Different Perspective

Chuan Hup Holdings shareholders are down 11% over twelve months, which isn't far from the market return of -10%. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 3%, each year, over five years. If the fundamental data remains strong, and the share price is simply down on sentiment, then this could be an opportunity worth investigating. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. Consider risks, for instance.
