Tidewater represents an interesting case study. In recent quarters, the company has been a poor performer and one of the larger drags on Fund performance. As recently as a year ago, the company had been a star performer for the Fund and was benefiting from a strong tightening of the supply and demand balance for global offshore support vessels. In that environment, with a favorable outlook and far higher share prices, the Fund sold a material portion of its Tidewater shares.

While shareholders of Tidewater (NYSE:TDW) are in the black over 5 years, those who bought a week ago aren't so fortunate

Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:TDW) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 13% in the last month. But that scarcely detracts from the really solid long term returns generated by the company over five years. It's fair to say most would be happy with 253% the gain in that time. We think it's more important to dwell on the long term returns than the short term returns. Ultimately business performance will determine whether the stock price continues the positive long term trend. While the long term returns are impressive, we do have some sympathy for those who bought more recently, given the 32% drop, in the last year. Although Tidewater has shed US$259m from its market cap this week, let's take a look at its longer term fundamental trends and see if they've driven returns. Check out our latest analysis for Tidewater To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. 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 last half decade, Tidewater became profitable. That kind of transition can be an inflection point that justifies a strong share price gain, just as we have seen here. You can see how EPS has changed over time in the image below (click on the chart to see the exact values). It's good to see that there was some significant insider buying in the last three months. That's a positive. On the other hand, we think the revenue and earnings trends are much more meaningful measures of the business. Dive deeper into the earnings by checking this interactive graph of Tidewater's earnings, revenue and cash flow. Investors in Tidewater had a tough year, with a total loss of 32%, against a market gain of about 19%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 29%, each year, over five years. If the fundamental data continues to indicate long term sustainable growth, the current sell-off could be an opportunity worth considering.
