But when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%.  For instance, the price of iFAST Corporation Ltd. (SGX:AIY) stock is up an impressive 203% over the last five years.   In the last week the share price is up 2.6%.       With that in mind, it's worth seeing if the company's underlying fundamentals have been the driver of long term performance, or if there are some discrepancies.  We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free.  To quote Buffett, 'Ships will sail around the world but the Flat Earth Society will flourish. There will continue to be wide discrepancies between price and value in the marketplace...'  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.   During five years of share price growth, iFAST achieved compound earnings per share (EPS) growth of 35% per year.   This EPS growth is higher than the 25% average annual increase in the share price.  So it seems the market isn't so enthusiastic about the stock these days.   The image below shows how EPS has tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). SGX:AIY Earnings Per Share Growth December 3rd 2025 We consider it positive that insiders have made significant purchases in the last year.  Having said that, most people consider earnings and revenue growth trends to be a more meaningful guide to the business.  It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on iFAST's earnings, revenue and cash flow.  AdvertisementWhat About Dividends? It is important to consider the total shareholder return, as well as the share price return, for any given stock.  Whereas the share price return only reflects the change in the share price, the TSR includes the value of dividends (assuming they were reinvested) and the benefit of any discounted capital raising or spin-off.  So for companies that pay a generous dividend, the TSR is often a lot higher than the share price return.  In the case of iFAST, it has a TSR of 216% for the last 5 years. That exceeds its share price return that we previously mentioned.  And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence!  A Different Perspective iFAST provided a TSR of 18% over the last twelve months.  But that was short of the market average.   It's probably a good sign that the company has an even better long term track record, having provided shareholders with an annual TSR of 26% over five years.  It may well be that this is a business worth popping on the watching, given the continuing positive reception, over time, from the market.       It is all well and good that insiders have been buying shares, but we suggest you check here to see what price insiders were buying at.  iFAST is not the only stock insiders are buying.

But when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%.  For instance, the price of iFAST Corporation Ltd. (SGX:AIY) stock is up an impressive 203% over the last five years.   In the last week the share price is up 2.6%.       With that in mind, it's worth seeing if the company's underlying fundamentals have been the driver of long term performance, or if there are some discrepancies.  We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free.  To quote Buffett, 'Ships will sail around the world but the Flat Earth Society will flourish. There will continue to be wide discrepancies between price and value in the marketplace...'  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.   During five years of share price growth, iFAST achieved compound earnings per share (EPS) growth of 35% per year.   This EPS growth is higher than the 25% average annual increase in the share price.  So it seems the market isn't so enthusiastic about the stock these days.   The image below shows how EPS has tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). SGX:AIY Earnings Per Share Growth December 3rd 2025 We consider it positive that insiders have made significant purchases in the last year.  Having said that, most people consider earnings and revenue growth trends to be a more meaningful guide to the business.  It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on iFAST's earnings, revenue and cash flow.  AdvertisementWhat About Dividends? It is important to consider the total shareholder return, as well as the share price return, for any given stock.  Whereas the share price return only reflects the change in the share price, the TSR includes the value of dividends (assuming they were reinvested) and the benefit of any discounted capital raising or spin-off.  So for companies that pay a generous dividend, the TSR is often a lot higher than the share price return.  In the case of iFAST, it has a TSR of 216% for the last 5 years. That exceeds its share price return that we previously mentioned.  And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence!  A Different Perspective iFAST provided a TSR of 18% over the last twelve months.  But that was short of the market average.   It's probably a good sign that the company has an even better long term track record, having provided shareholders with an annual TSR of 26% over five years.  It may well be that this is a business worth popping on the watching, given the continuing positive reception, over time, from the market.
