Investing in Good Drinks Australia (ASX:GDA) five years ago would have delivered you a 86% gain

While Good Drinks Australia Limited (ASX:GDA) shareholders are probably generally happy, the stock hasn't had particularly good run recently, with the share price falling 14% in the last quarter. On the bright side the returns have been quite good over the last half decade. After all, the share price is up a market-beating 86% in that time.

So let's investigate and see if the longer term performance of the company has been in line with the underlying business' progress.

Check out our latest analysis for Good Drinks Australia

In his essay The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville Warren Buffett described how share prices do not always rationally reflect the value of a business. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS).

During five years of share price growth, Good Drinks Australia achieved compound earnings per share (EPS) growth of 0.8% per year. This EPS growth is slower than the share price growth of 13% per year, over the same period. So it's fair to assume the market has a higher opinion of the business than it did five years ago. And that's hardly shocking given the track record of growth.

A Different Perspective

While the broader market gained around 8.5% in the last year, Good Drinks Australia shareholders lost 11%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 13% per year over half a decade. If the fundamental data continues to indicate long term sustainable growth, the current sell-off could be an opportunity worth considering. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Good Drinks Australia better, we need to consider many other factors.
