What Type Of Returns Would Malta Properties (MTSE:MPC) Shareholders Have Earned If They Purchased Their SharesYear Ago?

January 16, 2021 The simplest way to benefit from a rising market is to buy an index fund. Active investors aim to buy stocks that vastly outperform the market - but in the process, they risk under-performance. Unfortunately the
Malta Properties Company p.l.c. (MTSE:MPC) share price slid 23% over twelve months. That s disappointing when you consider the market declined 13%. On the bright side, the stock is actually
up 13% in the last three years. 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.
