It might be of some concern to shareholders to see the PhiChem Corporation (SZSE:300398) share price down 18% in the last month. But don't let that distract from the very nice return generated over three years. In the last three years the share price is up, 37%: better than the market.
While this past week has detracted from the company's three-year return, let's look at the recent trends of the underlying business and see if the gains have been in alignment.

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 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.
PhiChem was able to grow its EPS at 22% per year over three years, sending the share price higher. This EPS growth is higher than the 11% average annual increase in the share price. So it seems investors have become more cautious about the company, over time.

We know that PhiChem has improved its bottom line lately, but is it going to grow revenue? If you're interested, you could check this free report showing consensus revenue forecasts.
A Different Perspective
We're pleased to report that PhiChem shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 6.1% over one year. Of course, that includes the dividend. That's better than the annualised return of 1.2% 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. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. For instance, we've identified 1 warning sign for PhiChem that you should be aware of.

用巴菲特的话说,“船只将在世界各地航行,但平坦的地球协会将蓬勃发展。市场上的价格和价值之间将继续存在巨大的差异……”评估围绕一家公司的情绪变化的一个有缺陷但合理的方法是将每股收益(EPS)与股价进行比较。
PhiChem能够在三年内以每年22%的速度增长每股收益,推动股价走高。这一EPS增幅高于11%的股价年均增幅。因此,随着时间的推移,投资者似乎对该公司变得更加谨慎了。

不同的视角
我们很高兴地报告,PhiChem股东在一年内获得了6.1%的总股东回报。当然,这包括股息。这比过去五年1.2%的年化回报率要好,这意味着该公司最近的表现更好。持乐观观点的人可能会认为,最近TSR的改善表明,业务本身正在随着时间的推移而变得更好。我发现,把股价作为衡量企业业绩的长期指标是非常有趣的。但为了真正获得洞察力,我们还需要考虑其他信息。例如,我们已经确定1个PhiChem警告标志这一点你应该知道。
