Does InterGroup's (NASDAQ:INTG) Share Price Gain of 72% Match Its Business Performance?
Stock pickers are generally looking for stocks that will outperform the broader market. And in our experience, buying the right stocks can give your wealth a significant boost. To wit, the InterGroup share price has climbed 72% in five years, easily topping the market return of 46% (ignoring dividends). However, more recent returns haven't been as impressive as that, with the stock returning just 31% in the last year.

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.
During the five years of share price growth, InterGroup moved from a loss to profitability. That would generally be considered a positive, so we'd expect the share price to be up. Given that the company made a profit three years ago, but not five years ago, it is worth looking at the share price returns over the last three years, too. Indeed, the InterGroup share price has gained 20% in three years. In the same period, EPS is up 218% per year. This EPS growth is higher than the 6.3% average annual increase in the share price over the same three years. So you might conclude the market is a little more cautious about the stock, these days.

A Different Perspective
It's good to see that InterGroup has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 31% in the last twelve months. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 11% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. Someone with an optimistic perspective could view the recent improvement in TSR as indicating that the business itself is getting better with time.
