CITIC Guoan Information Industry Co., Ltd. (SZSE:000839) shareholders will doubtless be very grateful to see the share price up 33% in the last quarter. But if you look at the last five years the returns have not been good. In fact, the share price is down 37%, which falls well short of the return you could get by buying an index fund.
After losing 4.0% this past week, it's worth investigating the company's fundamentals to see what we can infer from past performance.
Given that CITIC Guoan Information Industry didn't make a profit in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually desire strong revenue growth. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.
In the last five years CITIC Guoan Information Industry saw its revenue shrink by 4.9% per year. While far from catastrophic that is not good. The stock hasn't done well for shareholders in the last five years, falling 7%, annualized. Unfortunately, though, it makes sense given the lack of either profits or revenue growth. It might be worth watching for signs of a turnaround - buyers are probably expecting one.

A Different Perspective
It's nice to see that CITIC Guoan Information Industry shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 7.5% over the last year. That certainly beats the loss of about 7% per year over the last half decade. The long term loss makes us cautious, but the short term TSR gain certainly hints at a brighter future. 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.
