Those who invested in Sify Technologies (NASDAQ:SIFY) three years ago are up 53%
While Sify Technologies Limited (NASDAQ:SIFY) shareholders are probably generally happy, the stock hasn't had particularly good run recently, with the share price falling 23% in the last quarter. But don't let that distract from the very nice return generated over three years. To wit, the share price did better than an index fund, climbing 53% during that period.
With that in mind, it's worth seeing if the company's underlying fundamentals have been the driver of long term performance, or if there are some discrepancies.
Check out our latest analysis for Sify Technologies
To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement.
A Different Perspective
Sify Technologies shareholders gained a total return of 7.7% during the year. Unfortunately this falls short of the market return. The silver lining is that the gain was actually better than the average annual return of 4% per year over five year. It is possible that returns will improve along with the business fundamentals. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Sify Technologies better, we need to consider many other factors. Take risks, for example - Sify Technologies has 3 warning signs (and 1 which doesn't sit too well with us) we think you should know about.
