Many investors define successful investing as beating the market average over the long term. But if you try your hand at stock picking, your risk returning less than the market. Unfortunately, that's been the case for longer term Tianjin Jingwei Huikai Optoelectronic Co., Ltd. (SZSE:300120) shareholders, since the share price is down 50% in the last three years, falling well short of the market decline of around 12%. Furthermore, it's down 16% in about a quarter. That's not much fun for holders. But this could be related to the weak market, which is down 8.2% in the same period.

Since Tianjin Jingwei Huikai Optoelectronic has shed CN¥368m from its value in the past 7 days, let's see if the longer term decline has been driven by the business' economics.

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.

Tianjin Jingwei Huikai Optoelectronic saw its EPS decline at a compound rate of 45% per year, over the last three years. This fall in the EPS is worse than the 20% compound annual share price fall. This suggests that the market retains some optimism around long term earnings stability, despite past EPS declines. This positive sentiment is also reflected in the generous P/E ratio of 141.75.

A Different Perspective

It's nice to see that Tianjin Jingwei Huikai Optoelectronic shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 2.0% over the last year. And that does include the dividend. However, that falls short of the 4% TSR per annum it has made for shareholders, each year, over five years. Potential buyers might understandably feel they've missed the opportunity, but it's always possible business is still firing on all cylinders. 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.
