But unfortunately, some companies simply don't succeed.  To wit, the China Harmony Auto Holding Limited (HKG:3836) share price managed to fall 65% over five long years.  That's not a lot of fun for true believers.     More recently, the share price has dropped a further 23% in a month.       Now let's have a look at the company's fundamentals, and see if the long term shareholder return has matched the performance of the underlying business.  AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early.  Given that China Harmony Auto Holding didn't make a profit in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development.  Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip.  As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.   In the last half decade, China Harmony Auto Holding saw its revenue increase by 1.6% per year.   That's not a very high growth rate considering it doesn't make profits.   It's likely this weak growth has contributed to an annualised return of 11% for the last five years.  We want to see an acceleration of revenue growth (or profits) before showing much interest in this one.  When a stock falls hard like this, some investors like to add the company to a watchlist (in case the business recovers, longer term).       You can see how earnings and revenue have changed over time in the image below (click on the chart to see the exact values). SEHK:3836 Earnings and Revenue Growth November 5th 2025 We're pleased to report that the CEO is remunerated more modestly than most CEOs at similarly capitalized companies.  But while CEO remuneration is always worth checking, the really important question is whether the company can grow earnings going forward.   This free report showing analyst forecasts should help you form a view on China Harmony Auto Holding    AdvertisementA Dividend Lost It's important to keep in mind that we've been talking about the share price returns, which don't include dividends, while the total shareholder return does.  By accounting for the value of dividends paid, the TSR can be seen as a more complete measure of the value a company brings to its shareholders.  Over the last 5 years, China Harmony Auto Holding generated a TSR of -56%, which is, of course, better than the share price return.  Although the company had to cut dividends, it has paid cash to shareholders in the past.  A Different Perspective It's nice to see that China Harmony Auto Holding shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 48% over the last year.    That certainly beats the loss of about 9% per year over the last half decade.  We generally put more weight on the long term performance over the short term, but the recent improvement could hint at a (positive) inflection point within the business.        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.
