Yahoo Finance Goldmoney's (TSE:XAU) Shareholders Are Down 62% On Their Shares
Goldmoney Inc. (TSE:XAU) shareholders should be happy to see the share price up 12% in the last month. Meanwhile over the last three years the stock has dropped hard. Tragically, the share price declined 62% in that time. So it is really good to see an improvement. Perhaps the company has turned over a new leaf.

There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. 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.
During five years of share price growth, Goldmoney moved from a loss to profitability. We would usually expect to see the share price rise as a result. So given the share price is down it's worth checking some other metrics too.
The modest 0.6% dividend yield is unlikely to be guiding the market view of the stock. We note that, in three years, revenue has actually grown at a 19% annual rate, so that doesn't seem to be a reason to sell shares. This analysis is just perfunctory, but it might be worth researching Goldmoney more closely, as sometimes stocks fall unfairly. This could present an opportunity.

A Different Perspective
It's nice to see that Goldmoney shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 36% over the last year. That's including the dividend. Notably the five-year annualised TSR loss of 6% per year compares very unfavourably with the recent share price performance. We generally put more weight on the long term performance over the short term, but the recent improvement could hint at a (positive) inflection point within the business. 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.
