Finning International's (TSE:FTT) 27% CAGR outpaced the company's earnings growth over the same five-year period
Since it's been a strong week for Finning International shareholders, let's have a look at trend of the longer term fundamentals.
Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.
There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time.
Over half a decade, Finning International managed to grow its earnings per share at 18% a year. This EPS growth is lower than the 23% average annual increase in the share price. This suggests that market participants hold the company in higher regard, these days. And that's hardly shocking given the track record of growth.
You can see how EPS has changed over time in the image below (click on the chart to see the exact values).
We consider it positive that insiders have made significant purchases in the last year. Even so, future earnings will be far more important to whether current shareholders make money. Dive deeper into the earnings by checking this interactive graph of Finning International's earnings, revenue and cash flow.
As well as measuring the share price return, investors should also consider the total shareholder return (TSR). The TSR is a return calculation that accounts for the value of cash dividends (assuming that any dividend received was reinvested) and the calculated value of any discounted capital raisings and spin-offs. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. In the case of Finning International, it has a TSR of 230% for the last 5 years. That exceeds its share price return that we previously mentioned. The dividends paid by the company have thusly boosted the total shareholder return.
We're pleased to report that Finning International shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 42% over one year. That's including the dividend. That's better than the annualised return of 27% over half a decade, implying that the company is doing better recently. In the best case scenario, this may hint at some real business momentum, implying that now could be a great time to delve deeper. 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.

Nvidia's China-bound H20 AI chips face Beijing scrutiny over ‘tracking' and security concerns
While Nvidia has been given assurances by Washington that it will be allowed to resume exports of its made-for-China H20 general processing units, the AI chips may be met with increased scrutiny from Beijing. According to the Cyberspace Administration of China, Nvidia met with Beijing officials on Thursday regarding potential national security concerns posed by its H20 chips, which recently saw restrictions on their export lifted following an effective ban in April. Nvidia was requested "to clarify and submit relevant supporting documentation regarding security risks, including potential vulnerabilities and backdoors, associated with its H20 computing chips sold to China," according to a CNBC translation of a statement from CAC. In a post, the regulator said that Nvidia's computing chips were reported to have serious security vulnerabilities, also noting calls from U.S. lawmakers for mandatory tracking features to be placed on advanced chips exported from the country. In its statement, CAC added that American AI experts had already revealed that Nvidia's computing chips pose mature "tracking and positioning" and "remote shutdown" technologies. The statement appears to be referencing a report from Reuters in May that said Bill Foster, a Democrat lawmaker from Illinois, was planning to introduce legislation that would require advanced AI chipmakers like Nvidia to include a built-in location reporting system. Forester, who once worked as a particle physicist, and independent technical experts reportedly agreed that the technology to track chips was readily available, with much of it already built into Nvidia's chips. Forester's bill would also seek to give U.S. authorities the power to remotely shut down chips being used without proper licenses, in a measure to fight chip smuggling and export loopholes. Nvidia did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CNBC. In recent weeks, many American lawmakers have also taken issue with the reported rollback of restrictions on Nvidia's H20 chips, warning they will advance Beijing's AI capability. This week, Nvidia reportedly placed orders for 300,000 H20 chipsets with contract manufacturer TSMC as it seeks to meet Chinese demand.

Strong earnings and all-time highs being made afterhours by Meta (META) and Microsoft (MSFT) following blowout Q2 results by both companies have more than made up for the late-session malaise on Wednesday following a non-committal outlook by Fed Chair Powell in terms of easing at the next FOMC policy meeting in September, even though today's decision contained two dissenting votes calling for a cut. CME Fed Funds futures projections for a September rate cut have risen sharply after the Fed Chair's presser from over 60% going into today's decision to just over 40%.

'Must Be Recognized and Compensated': Air Canada Stock (TSE:MDA) Jumps as Strike Vote Looms
Canadian airline stock Air Canada (TSE:AC) is having a rough time of things right now. Its earnings report disappointed, and a strike vote of around 10,000 flight attendants is looming in the background. Yet despite all this, investors are feeling downright optimistic about Air Canada's future. Sufficiently so, in fact, that they sent share prices jumping over 3% in Wednesday afternoon's trading. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. The vote has already begun, and will run until August 5, as the flight attendants in question are deciding whether or not to launch a full strike against Air Canada. The issues at stake are mostly of the usual variety. The flight attendants are looking for better wages, as well as improvements to pensions, changes in 'rest rules,' and for compensation for work they are currently doing without pay. A representative for the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) noted, 'We're calling attention to systemic issues, especially the 35 hours per month flight attendants spend working unpaid during boarding…. That time must be recognized and compensated.' Even if the vote goes in favor of a strike, a strike cannot be launched immediately. A 21-day 'cooling-off period' must follow, as well as 72 hours of advance notice. This means that a strike essentially cannot start until late August. But that still takes a bite out of the summer travel season, a point that Air Canada is likely eager to avoid. Air Canada's Team of Pack Rat Baggage Handlers Some air travelers know what it is like to lose parts of their luggage. But it is likely less often that customers get back things they never owned to begin with. One Air Canada passenger, Linda Royle, discovered what that was like recently after a flight in late March. Royle got her carry-on suitcase returned to her, reports noted, after being asked to check the bag. But not only were several items missing, but also, several items she had never packed now took their place, as though Air Canada's baggage handler staff was composed of a team of pack rats. She had lost '…hundreds of dollars' worth of shoes, books, medication and clothing,' only to be replaced with '…two old shaving kits…a knife and a man's boarding pass dated April 2020.' Also included, oddly, was an Air Canada baggage scanner device. Is Air Canada Stock a Good Buy Right Now? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on TSE:AC stock based on nine Buys and two Holds assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 25.16% rally in its share price over the past year, the average TSE:AC price target of C$25.18 per share implies 26.77% upside potential.
