Shinry Technologies Co., Ltd. (SZSE:300745) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 18% in the last quarter. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last three years have been pleasing. To wit, the share price did better than an index fund, climbing 33% during that period.
On the back of a solid 7-day performance, let's check what role the company's fundamentals have played in driving long term shareholder returns.

We don't think that Shinry Technologies' modest trailing twelve month profit has the market's full attention at the moment. We think revenue is probably a better guide. Generally speaking, we'd consider a stock like this alongside loss-making companies, simply because the quantum of the profit is so low. It would be hard to believe in a more profitable future without growing revenues.
Shinry Technologies' revenue trended up 53% each year over three years. That's much better than most loss-making companies. While the compound gain of 10% per year over three years is pretty good, you might argue it doesn't fully reflect the strong revenue growth. If that's the case, now might be the time to take a close look at Shinry Technologies. If the company is trending towards profitability then it could be very interesting.

A Different Perspective
It's good to see that Shinry Technologies has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 4.0% in the last twelve months. Notably the five-year annualised TSR loss of 1.6% 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. 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.
