    Investing in IGB Berhad (KLSE:IGBB) three years ago would have delivered you a 129% gain

    October 12, 20244 Mins Read


    The worst result, after buying shares in a company (assuming no leverage), would be if you lose all the money you put in. But in contrast you can make much more than 100% if the company does well. To wit, the IGB Berhad (KLSE:IGBB) share price has flown 102% in the last three years. How nice for those who held the stock! In the last week the share price is up 2.3%.

    So let’s assess the underlying fundamentals over the last 3 years and see if they’ve moved in lock-step with shareholder returns.

    Check out our latest analysis for IGB Berhad

    To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it’s a weighing machine. 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.

    IGB Berhad became profitable within the last three years. That kind of transition can be an inflection point that justifies a strong share price gain, just as we have seen here.

    The graphic below depicts how EPS has changed over time (unveil the exact values by clicking on the image).

    We know that IGB Berhad has improved its bottom line over the last three years, but what does the future have in store? If you are thinking of buying or selling IGB Berhad stock, you should check out this FREE detailed report on its balance sheet.

    What About Dividends?

    When looking at investment returns, it is important to consider the difference between total shareholder return (TSR) and share price return. 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. Arguably, the TSR gives a more comprehensive picture of the return generated by a stock. In the case of IGB Berhad, it has a TSR of 129% for the last 3 years. That exceeds its share price return that we previously mentioned. This is largely a result of its dividend payments!

    A Different Perspective

    It’s nice to see that IGB Berhad shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 25% over the last year. And that does include the dividend. That’s better than the annualised return of 10% over half a decade, implying that the company is doing better recently. Someone with an optimistic perspective could view the recent improvement in TSR as indicating that the business itself is getting better with time. It’s always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand IGB Berhad better, we need to consider many other factors. To that end, you should learn about the 2 warning signs we’ve spotted with IGB Berhad (including 1 which shouldn’t be ignored) .
