It hasn't been the best quarter for Eagle Eye Solutions Group plc (LON:EYE) shareholders, since the share price has fallen 15% in that time. But that doesn't change the fact that shareholders have received really good returns over the last five years. We think most investors would be happy with the 158% return, over that period. So while it's never fun to see a share price fall, it's important to look at a longer time horizon. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean it's cheap now.
So let's assess the underlying fundamentals over the last 5 years and see if they've moved in lock-step with shareholder returns.
Check out our latest analysis for Eagle Eye Solutions Group
Eagle Eye Solutions Group isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually desire strong revenue growth. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit.
For the last half decade, Eagle Eye Solutions Group can boast revenue growth at a rate of 23% per year. Even measured against other revenue-focussed companies, that's a good result. So it's not entirely surprising that the share price reflected this performance by increasing at a rate of 21% per year, in that time. This suggests the market has well and truly recognized the progress the business has made. To our minds that makes Eagle Eye Solutions Group worth investigating - it may have its best days ahead.

A Different Perspective
While the broader market gained around 11% in the last year, Eagle Eye Solutions Group shareholders lost 13%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 21%, each year, over five years. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend.
