Hansen Technologies (ASX:HSN) shareholders have earned a 18% CAGR over the last five years
When you buy shares in a company, it's worth keeping in mind the possibility that it could fail, and you could lose your money. But when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%. One great example is Hansen Technologies Limited (ASX:HSN) which saw its share price drive 102% higher over five years. In more good news, the share price has risen 15% in thirty days. 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. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement. Hansen Technologies' earnings per share are down 27% per year, despite strong share price performance over five years. This means it's unlikely the market is judging the company based on earnings growth. Because earnings per share don't seem to match up with the share price, we'll take a look at other metrics instead. The modest 1.7% dividend yield is unlikely to be propping up the share price. On the other hand, Hansen Technologies' revenue is growing nicely, at a compound rate of 4.4% over the last five years. In that case, the company may be sacrificing current earnings per share to drive growth. The graphic below depicts how earnings and revenue have changed over time (unveil the exact values by clicking on the image). Take a more thorough look at Hansen Technologies' financial health with this free report on its balance sheet. What About Dividends? It is important to consider the total shareholder return, as well as the share price return, for any given stock. The TSR incorporates the value of any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings, along with any dividends, based on the assumption that the dividends are reinvested. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. As it happens, Hansen Technologies' TSR for the last 5 years was 126%, which exceeds the share price return mentioned earlier. And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence! A Different Perspective It's nice to see that Hansen Technologies shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 35% over the last year. And that does include the dividend. That's better than the annualised return of 18% over half a decade, implying that the company is doing better recently. Given the share price momentum remains strong, it might be worth taking a closer look at the stock, lest you miss an opportunity. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Hansen Technologies better, we need to consider many other factors. Consider risks, for instance. Every company has them, and we've spotted 2 warning signs for Hansen Technologies you should know about. But note: Hansen Technologies may not be the best stock to buy.

Truck driver Anthony Costanzo who fatally struck elderly man in Melbourne's east could walk free in less than two years
A killer could be out of jail within two years after admitting he crashed into an elderly man and left him to die on the side of the road. Anthony Costanzo, 35, appeared to hold back tears and then smiled at his supporters after Victorian Supreme Court Justice Rita Incerti sentenced him to five years behind bars. He could be released from custody in just under two, having already served more than 12 months of his three-year non-parole period. Costanzo had pleaded guilty to manslaughter by criminal negligence after he fatally struck 76-year-old Peter Row almost two years ago. He had been seeking retribution after Row followed him and then drove into his cousin. Row had been called by a night-shift worker after Costanzo's truck pulled into the Hansen Technologies car park in Melbourne's east about 10.45pm on September 3, 2023. Costanzo lived in an apartment opposite and manipulated the site's boom gates to let his truck inside. Row arrived about 11.20pm in his Holden and stopped behind Costanzo's truck. The truck reversed into the front of the Holden and drove out of the car park, with Row following and calling 000 to report what he believed was an attempted burglary. Costanzo drove to his mother's home and when he arrived at the property — followed by Row — a group of men were gathered on the street. Two men approached Row and one said 'what the f*** are you going to do?' Row drove into that man, who was Costanzo's cousin and he hit the bonnet before standing up again. He drove off and Costanzo pursued him in the truck without lights turned on. Row, who was still on the phone to police, drove to a nearby street and stopped 400m from a corner with his car headlights on. He got out and stood near a back passenger door, before Costanzo rounded a bend and drove into him. Justice Incerti accepted Costanzo never intended to kill Row and was simply unable to avoid the collision. But the judge told Costanzo he never should have begun the pursuit in the first place. 'Nothing good was ever going to come of your conduct,' Justice Incerti said on Monday. 'It was simply stupid and reckless ... You had other options but made the worst possible choice.' The judge described Costanzo's actions after Row's death as callous, noting he fled without calling for help and lied to police about his involvement. Those decisions showed Costanzo was not remorseful at the time although Justice Incerti said his subsequent plea indicated a degree of remorse. Costanzo's prospects of rehabilitation could also be considered good given his age, his strong family support and the positive way he had conducted himself in prison, the judge said. Justice Incerti said the sentence did not reflect the value of Row's life. Costanzo was also disqualified from driving for 24 months, starting on Monday.
