A Different Perspective
It's nice to see that LightInTheBox Holding shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 288% over the last year. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 5% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. Someone with an optimistic perspective could view the recent improvement in TSR as indicating that the business itself is getting better with time. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand LightInTheBox Holding better, we need to consider many other factors.
