Even though SSR Mining (TSE:SSRM) has lost CA$211m market cap in last 7 days, shareholders are still up 265% over 1 year

Unfortunately, investing is risky - companies can and do go bankrupt. But when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%. For example, the SSR Mining Inc. (TSE:SSRM) share price had more than doubled in just one year - up 265%. It's also good to see the share price up 46% over the last quarter. Looking back further, the stock price is 63% higher than it was three years ago.

In light of the stock dropping 3.3% in the past week, we want to investigate the longer term story, and see if fundamentals have been the driver of the company's positive one-year return.

While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS).

SSR Mining went from making a loss to reporting a profit, in the last year.

When a company has just transitioned to profitability, earnings per share growth is not always the best way to look at the share price action.

However the year on year revenue growth of 6.2% would help. Many businesses do go through a phase where they have to forgo some profits to drive business development, and sometimes its for the best.

A Different Perspective

We're pleased to report that SSR Mining shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 265% over one year. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 6% 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. Even so, be aware that SSR Mining is showing 1 warning sign in our investment analysis, you should know about...
