While Shareholders of SIGA Technologies (NASDAQ:SIGA) Are in the Black Over 5 Years, Those Who Bought a Week Ago Aren't so Fortunate
While Shareholders of SIGA Technologies (NASDAQ:SIGA) Are in the Black Over 5 Years, Those Who Bought a Week Ago Aren't so Fortunate
Some SIGA Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SIGA) shareholders are probably rather concerned to see the share price fall 65% over the last three months. Looking further back, the stock has generated good profits over five years. Its return of 77% has certainly bested the market return!
While the stock has fallen 8.4% this week, it's worth focusing on the longer term and seeing if the stocks historical returns have been driven by the underlying fundamentals.

While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just 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.
During the five years of share price growth, SIGA Technologies moved from a loss to profitability. That would generally be considered a positive, so we'd expect the share price to be up.

NasdaqGM:SIGA Earnings Per Share Growth November 4th 2022It's probably worth noting that the CEO is paid less than the median at similar sized companies. But while CEO remuneration is always worth checking, the really important question is whether the company can grow earnings going forward. Before buying or selling a stock, we always recommend a close examination of historic growth trends, available here..
What About The Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?
Investors should note that there's a difference between SIGA Technologies' total shareholder return (TSR) and its share price change, which we've covered above. The TSR is a return calculation that accounts for the value of cash dividends (assuming that any dividend received was reinvested) and the calculated value of any discounted capital raisings and spin-offs. We note that SIGA Technologies' TSR, at 88% is higher than its share price return of 77%. When you consider it hasn't been paying a dividend, this data suggests shareholders have benefitted from a spin-off, or had the opportunity to acquire attractively priced shares in a discounted capital raising.
A Different Perspective
It's good to see that SIGA Technologies has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 19% in the last twelve months. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 13% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. Given the share price momentum remains strong, it might be worth taking a closer look at the stock, lest you miss an opportunity. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too.

一些SIGA技術公司新浪納斯達克:SIGA)股東可能相當擔心看到股價在過去三個月裏下跌65%。再往前看,該股在過去五年裏創造了良好的利潤。它77%的回報率肯定超過了市場回報率!
儘管該股本週下跌了8.4%,但值得關注的是更長期的,看看這些股票的歷史回報是否受到了基本面因素的推動。

雖然市場是一種強大的定價機制,但股價反映的是投資者情緒,而不僅僅是潛在的企業表現。評估圍繞一家公司的情緒變化的一個有缺陷但合理的方法是將每股收益(EPS)與股價進行比較。
在股價增長的五年中,SIGA Technologies從虧損轉為盈利。這通常會被認為是積極的,所以我們預計股價會上漲。

NasdaqGM:SIGA每股收益增長2022年11月4日可能值得注意的是,首席執行官的薪酬低於類似規模公司的中位數。但是,儘管CEO的薪酬總是值得檢查的,但真正重要的問題是,公司能否在未來實現收益增長。在買賣股票之前,我們總是建議仔細檢查一下歷史增長趨勢,可在此處找到。
那麼總股東回報(TSR)呢?
投資者應該注意到,SIGA Technologies的總股東回報(TSR)與其股價變化之間存在差異,我們上面已經談到了這一點。TSR是一種回報計算,計入了現金股息的價值(假設收到的任何股息都進行了再投資),以及任何貼現融資和剝離的計算價值。我們注意到,SIGA Technologies的TSR,為88%,高於其77%的股價回報率。當你認為該公司沒有派發股息時,這一數據表明,股東從分拆中受益,或者有機會在折扣融資中收購價格誘人的股票。
不同的視角
很高興看到SIGA Technologies在過去12個月裏為股東帶來了19%的總回報。由於一年期的TSR好於五年期的TSR(後者的年收益率為13%),看起來該股的表現最近有所改善。鑑於股價勢頭依然強勁,仔細觀察這隻股票可能是值得的,以免錯過預期和機會。我發現,把股價作為衡量企業業績的長期指標是非常有趣的。但為了真正獲得洞察力,我們還需要考慮其他信息。例如,我們發現SIGA技術公司的1個警告標誌在這裏投資之前你應該意識到這一點。
