Hainan Strait Shipping Stock Forum

Despite strong earnings growth, the company's high P/E ratio could worry investors. Coupled with weaker than market growth, the share price may be at risk of declining.

The EPS growth outshines the yearly share price gain of 6%, indicating a more cautious market stance towards the stock. Dividends paid by the company have enhanced the total shareholder return, with a five-year TSR of 8% a year seen as superior.
