Nynomic (FRA:M7U) Shareholders Have Enjoyed A Whopping 353% Share Price Gain

Nynomic AG (FRA:M7U) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 19% in the last month. But that does not change the realty that the stock's performance has been terrific, over five years. In fact, during that period, the share price climbed 353%. Impressive! So we don't think the recent decline in the share price means its story is a sad one. Of course what matters most is whether the business can improve itself sustainably, thus justifying a higher price.

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 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 half decade, Nynomic became profitable. That kind of transition can be an inflection point that justifies a strong share price gain, just as we have seen here. Since the company was unprofitable five years ago, but not three years ago, it's worth taking a look at the returns in the last three years, too. We can see that the Nynomic share price is up 209% in the last three years. During the same period, EPS grew by 65% each year. This EPS growth is higher than the 46% average annual increase in the share price over the same three years. Therefore, it seems the market has moderated its expectations for growth, somewhat.

However, that falls short of the 35% TSR per annum it has made for shareholders, each year, over five years. The pessimistic view would be that be that the stock has its best days behind it, but on the other hand the price might simply be moderating while the business itself continues to execute.
