Investors in Allianz Malaysia Berhad (KLSE:ALLIANZ) have seen decent returns of 81% over the past five years
While Allianz Malaysia Berhad (KLSE:ALLIANZ) shareholders are probably generally happy, the stock hasn't had particularly good run recently, with the share price falling 11% in the last quarter. But the silver lining is the stock is up over five years. Unfortunately its return of 46% is below the market return of 50%. With that in mind, it's worth seeing if the company's underlying fundamentals have been the driver of long term performance, or if there are some discrepancies. While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. 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. Over half a decade, Allianz Malaysia Berhad managed to grow its earnings per share at 14% a year. This EPS growth is higher than the 8% average annual increase in the share price. Therefore, it seems the market has become relatively pessimistic about the company. This cautious sentiment is reflected in its (fairly low) P/E ratio of 4.58. The image below shows how EPS has tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). We know that Allianz Malaysia Berhad has improved its bottom line lately, but is it going to grow revenue? Check if analysts think Allianz Malaysia Berhad will grow revenue in the future. It is important to consider the total shareholder return, as well as the share price return, for any given stock. Whereas the share price return only reflects the change in the share price, the TSR includes the value of dividends (assuming they were reinvested) and the benefit of any discounted capital raising or spin-off. Arguably, the TSR gives a more comprehensive picture of the return generated by a stock. We note that for Allianz Malaysia Berhad the TSR over the last 5 years was 81%, which is better than the share price return mentioned above. And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence! While the broader market gained around 1.2% in the last year, Allianz Malaysia Berhad shareholders lost 7.3% (even including dividends). Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 13% per year over half a decade. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend. 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.
