The main point of investing for the long term is to make money. Better yet, you’d like to see the share price move up more than the market average. Unfortunately for shareholders, while the Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Incorporated (TSE:9501) share price is up 72% in the last five years, that’s less than the market return. Some buyers are laughing, though, with an increase of 61% in the last year.

So let’s assess the underlying fundamentals over the last 5 years and see if they’ve moved in lock-step with shareholder returns.

Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings isn’t currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually desire strong revenue growth. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

For the last half decade, Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings can boast revenue growth at a rate of 5.1% per year. That’s not a very high growth rate considering the bottom line. It’s probably fair to say that the modest growth is reflected in the modest share price gain of 11% per year. It seems likely that we’ll have to zoom in on the data, including profits, to understand if there is an opportunity here.

A Different Perspective

It’s good to see that Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 61% in the last twelve months. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 11% 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.
