Yieh Phui Enterprise 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. 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.

For the last half decade, Yieh Phui Enterprise can boast revenue growth at a rate of 3.7% per year. Put simply, that growth rate fails to impress. Like its revenue, its share price gained over the period. The increase of 14% per year probably reflects the modest revenue growth. It seems likely that we'll have to zoom in on the data, including profits, to understand if there is an opportunity here.

What about the Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?

We've already covered Yieh Phui Enterprise's share price action, but we should also mention its total shareholder return (TSR). 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 Yieh Phui Enterprise's TSR of 105% over the last 5 years is better than the share price return.

A Different Perspective

It's good to see that Yieh Phui Enterprise has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 36% in the last twelve months. That's better than the annualised return of 15% over half a decade, implying that the company is doing better recently. Someone with an optimistic perspective could view the recent improvement in TSR as indicating that the business itself is getting better with time. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Yieh Phui Enterprise better, we need to consider many other factors.
