Did the company's growth lead to a 163% price increase on the Interparfums share price (EPA: ITP)? – Simply Wall St News

It may sound bad, but the worst that can happen when you buy a stock (no leverage) is that its stock price goes to zero.
But when you choose a business that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%.
For example, the Interparfums SA The stock price (EPA: ITP) has risen by 163% in the last three years.
This kind of return is as solid as granite.
The 40% gain recorded over the past three months is also satisfactory for shareholders.
This could be related to recent financial results recently released. You can view the most recent data by reading our company report.

Although some still argue that markets are efficient, markets have been shown to be dynamic systems that are too responsive and that investors are not always rational.
An imperfect, but simple, way to look at the evolution of the market's perception of a company is to compare the evolution of earnings per share (EPS) with the evolution of the share price.

Over the past three years of rising share prices, Interparfums has recorded compound earnings growth of 13% per annum.
This growth in EPS is lower than the average annual increase of 38% of the share price.
It is therefore fair to badume that the market has a better view of the sector than it did three years ago.
It is not unusual to see the market "reevaluate" a stock after a few years of growth.

The picture below shows how EPS has followed over time (if you click on the image you will see more details).

What about dividends?

It is important to take into account the total shareholder return, as well as the stock price performance, for any given action.
While the stock price performance only reflects the change in the stock price, the TSR includes the value of the dividends (baduming they have been reinvested) and the profit of any raising of capital or any discounted derivative.
It can be argued that the TSR gives a more complete picture of the return generated by a stock.
We note that, for Interparfums, the TSR of the last three years was 178%, which is higher than the return on the share price mentioned above.
And there is no point in baduming that dividend payments account for much of the divergence!

A different perspective

We are pleased to announce that Interparfums shareholders have benefited from a total return of 40% over one year.
Of course, this includes the dividend.
That's better than the annualized return of 21% over half a decade, which implies that the company has improved recently.
Given that stock prices remain dynamic, it may be worthwhile to take a closer look at the stock, so as not to miss an opportunity.
