Shareholders Are Thrilled That The Tapestry (NYSE:TPR) Share Price Increased 229%
The most you can lose on any stock (assuming you don't use leverage) is 100% of your money. But if you pick the right stock, you can make a lot more than 100%. For example, the Tapestry, Inc. (NYSE:TPR) share price has soared 229% return in just a single year. On top of that, the share price is up 45% in about a quarter. However, the stock hasn't done so well in the longer term, with the stock only up 6.9% in three years.

There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price.
Over the last twelve months Tapestry went from profitable to unprofitable. While this may prove temporary, we'd consider it a negative, so we would not have expected to see the share price up. We might get a clue to explain the share price move by looking to other metrics.
Unfortunately Tapestry's fell 23% over twelve months. So the fundamental metrics don't provide an obvious explanation for the share price gain.

A Different Perspective
We're pleased to report that Tapestry shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 229% over one year. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 7% 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. 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.
