The DSP Group (NASDAQ:DSPG) Share Price Is Up 55% And Shareholders Are Holding On

The simplest way to invest in stocks is to buy exchange traded funds. But in our experience, buying the right stocks can give your wealth a significant boost. For example, the DSP Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:DSPG) share price is up 55% in the last five years, slightly above the market return. Also positive is the 18% share price rise over the last year.

See our latest analysis for DSP Group

Given that DSP Group 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 expect strong revenue growth. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.

Over the last half decade DSP Group's revenue has actually been trending down at about 4.6% per year. Even though revenue hasn't increased, the stock actually gained 9.1%, per year, during the same period. To us that suggests that there probably isn't a lot of correlation between the past revenue performance and the share price, but a closer look at analyst forecasts and the bottom line may well explain a lot.

A Different Perspective

It's good to see that DSP Group has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 18% in the last twelve months. That's better than the annualised return of 9.1% over half a decade, implying that the company is doing better recently. In the best case scenario, this may hint at some real business momentum, implying that now could be a great time to delve deeper.
