Yahoo Finance Spartan Delta (TSE:SDE) pulls back 4.0% this week, but still delivers shareholders incredible 99% CAGR over 3 years
Spartan Delta Corp. (TSE:SDE) shareholders have seen the share price descend 25% over the month. But that doesn't displace its brilliant performance over three years. Indeed, the share price is up a whopping 691% in that time. So the recent fall doesn't do much to dampen our respect for the business. The share price action could signify that the business itself is dramatically improved, in that time. It really delights us to see such great share price performance for investors.
In light of the stock dropping 4.0% in the past week, we want to investigate the longer term story, and see if fundamentals have been the driver of the company's positive three-year return.

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.
During three years of share price growth, Spartan Delta moved from a loss to profitability. Given the importance of this milestone, it's not overly surprising that the share price has increased strongly.

A Different Perspective
It's nice to see that Spartan Delta shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 110% over the last year. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 10% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. Given the share price momentum remains strong, it might be worth taking a closer look at the stock, lest you miss an opportunity. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important.
