最近8.0%的回调不足以伤害MBIA(NYSE：MBI)的长期股东，他们在5年内仍上涨了52%

MBIA Inc. (NYSE:MBI) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 21% in the last quarter. But at least the stock is up over the last five years. However we are not very impressed because the share price is only up 52%, less than the market return of 79%.

Since the long term performance has been good but there's been a recent pullback of 8.0%, let's check if the fundamentals match the share price.

Check out our latest analysis for MBIA

MBIA wasn't profitable in the last twelve months, it is unlikely we'll see a strong correlation between its share price and its earnings per share (EPS). Arguably revenue is our next best option. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.

In the last 5 years MBIA saw its revenue shrink by 5.8% per year. The stock is only up 9% for each year during the period. That's pretty decent given the top line decline, and lack of profits. Of course, a closer look at the bottom line - and any available analyst forecasts - could reveal an opportunity (if they point to future growth).

A Different Perspective

It's nice to see that MBIA shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 35% over the last year. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 9% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. In the best case scenario, this may hint at some real business momentum, implying that now could be a great time to delve deeper. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important.
