Five Point Holdings'(NYSE:FPH) Share Price Is Down 61% Over The Past Three Years.

Five Point Holdings, LLC (NYSE:FPH) shareholders should be happy to see the share price up 22% in the last month. But that is small recompense for the exasperating returns over three years. In that time, the share price dropped 61%. So it is really good to see an improvement. While many would remain nervous, there could be further gains if the business can put its best foot forward.

While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational. One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price.

During five years of share price growth, Five Point Holdings moved from a loss to profitability. That would generally be considered a positive, so we are surprised to see the share price is down. So given the share price is down it's worth checking some other metrics too.

Revenue is actually up 29% over the three years, so the share price drop doesn't seem to hinge on revenue, either. It's probably worth investigating Five Point Holdings further; while we may be missing something on this analysis, there might also be an opportunity.

We would want clear information suggesting the company will grow, before taking the view that the share price will stabilize.
