Can You Imagine How Sinphar PharmaceuticalLtd's (TPE:1734) Shareholders Feel About The 52% Share Price Increase?

While Sinphar Pharmaceutical Co.,Ltd. (TPE:1734) shareholders are probably generally happy, the stock hasn't had particularly good run recently, with the share price falling 27% in the last quarter. While that might be a setback, it doesn't negate the nice returns received over the last twelve months. In that time we've seen the stock easily surpass the market return, with a gain of 52%.

To quote Buffett, 'Ships will sail around the world but the Flat Earth Society will flourish. There will continue to be wide discrepancies between price and value in the marketplace...' By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time.

Sinphar PharmaceuticalLtd went from making a loss to reporting a profit, in the last year.

When a company has just transitioned to profitability, earnings per share growth is not always the best way to look at the share price action.

We doubt the modest 0.7% dividend yield is doing much to support the share price. We think that the revenue growth of 8.5% could have some investors interested. We do see some companies suppress earnings in order to accelerate revenue growth.

A Different Perspective

We're pleased to report that Sinphar PharmaceuticalLtd shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 53% over one year. That's including the dividend. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 2% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. In the best case scenario, this may hint at some real business momentum, implying that now could be a great time to delve deeper. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too.
