Shareholders in MYT Netherlands Parent B.V (NYSE:MYTE) are in the red if they invested a year ago

In This Article:

MYT Netherlands Parent B.V. (NYSE:MYTE) shareholders should be happy to see the share price up 11% in the last month. But that's small comfort given the dismal price performance over the last year. Like an arid lake in a warming world, shareholder value has evaporated, with the share price down 62% in that time. It's not that amazing to see a bounce after a drop like that. It may be that the fall was an overreaction.

It's worthwhile assessing if the company's economics have been moving in lockstep with these underwhelming shareholder returns, or if there is some disparity between the two. So let's do just that.
