If You Had Bought Teaminvest Private Group's (ASX:TIP) Shares A Year Ago You Would Be Down 27%

Teaminvest Private Group Limited (ASX:TIP) shareholders should be happy to see the share price up 25% in the last quarter. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last year have been less than pleasing. In fact the stock is down 27% in the last year, well below the market return.

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...' 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.

During the last year Teaminvest Private Group grew its earnings per share, moving from a loss to a profit.

When a company has just transitioned to profitability, earnings per share growth is not always the best way to look at the share price action. So it makes sense to check out some other factors.

Teaminvest Private Group's revenue is actually up 121% over the last year. Since we can't easily explain the share price movement based on these metrics, it might be worth considering how market sentiment has changed towards the stock.

A Different Perspective

Teaminvest Private Group shareholders are down 27% for the year, even worse than the market loss of 7.4%. There's no doubt that's a disappointment, but the stock may well have fared better in a stronger market. Putting aside the last twelve months, it's good to see the share price has rebounded by 25%, in the last ninety days. Let's just hope this isn't the widely-feared 'dead cat bounce' (which would indicate further declines to come). 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.
