The most you can lose on any stock (assuming you don’t use leverage) is 100% of your money. But on a lighter note, a good company can see its share price rise well over 100%. For example, the TAJGVK Hotels & Resorts Limited (NSE:TAJGVK) share price has soared 294% in the last half decade. Most would be very happy with that. It’s also up 35% in about a month.

While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational. 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.
Over half a decade, TAJGVK Hotels & Resorts managed to grow its earnings per share at 107% a year. The EPS growth is more impressive than the yearly share price gain of 32% over the same period. Therefore, it seems the market has become relatively pessimistic about the company. Of course, with a P/E ratio of 61.86, the market remains optimistic.

What About Dividends?
As well as measuring the share price return, investors should also consider the total shareholder return (TSR). The TSR is a return calculation that accounts for the value of cash dividends (assuming that any dividend received was reinvested) and the calculated value of any discounted capital raisings. It’s fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. In the case of TAJGVK Hotels & Resorts, it has a TSR of 298% for the last 5 years. That exceeds its share price return that we previously mentioned. The dividends paid by the company have thusly boosted the total shareholder return.
A Different Perspective
It’s good to see that TAJGVK Hotels & Resorts has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 53% in the last twelve months. And that does include the dividend. That gain is better than the annual TSR over five years, which is 32%. Therefore it seems like sentiment around the company has been positive lately. In the best case scenario, this may hint at some real business momentum, implying that now could be a great time to delve deeper.
