Even after rising 6.8% this past week, Ryman Healthcare (NZSE:RYM) shareholders are still down 77% over the past five years
Ryman Healthcare Limited (NZSE:RYM) shareholders should be happy to see the share price up 14% in the last month. But will that heal all the wounds inflicted over 5 years of declines? Unlikely. Indeed, the share price is down a whopping 81% in that time. So we don't gain too much confidence from the recent recovery. The fundamental business performance will ultimately determine if the turnaround can be sustained. While a drop like that is definitely a body blow, money isn't as important as health and happiness. Although the past week has been more reassuring for shareholders, they're still in the red over the last five years, so let's see if the underlying business has been responsible for the decline. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Ryman Healthcare 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. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually desire strong revenue growth. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit. In the last half decade, Ryman Healthcare saw its revenue increase by 13% per year. That's a fairly respectable growth rate. So the stock price fall of 13% per year seems pretty steep. The truth is that the growth might be below expectations, and investors are probably worried about the continual losses. The image below shows how earnings and revenue have tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). We like that insiders have been buying shares in the last twelve months. Having said that, most people consider earnings and revenue growth trends to be a more meaningful guide to the business. You can see what analysts are predicting for Ryman Healthcare in this interactive graph of future profit estimates. We'd be remiss not to mention the difference between Ryman Healthcare's total shareholder return (TSR) and its share price return. The TSR attempts to capture the value of dividends (as if they were reinvested) as well as any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings offered to shareholders. Ryman Healthcare's TSR of was a loss of 77% for the 5 years. That wasn't as bad as its share price return, because it has paid dividends. While the broader market gained around 8.7% in the last year, Ryman Healthcare shareholders lost 34%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. Regrettably, last year's performance caps off a bad run, with the shareholders facing a total loss of 12% per year over five years. Generally speaking long term share price weakness can be a bad sign, though contrarian investors might want to research the stock in hope of a turnaround. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Ryman Healthcare better, we need to consider many other factors.

Property where Elisabeth 'Lis' Nicholls found had been empty for years
Flowers and candles laid on the driveway of a property on Gracefield Avenue, where police found a body believed to be that of Elisabeth Nicholls. Photo: RNZ / Anna Sargent Christchurch police have confirmed a body found at a property in the central city on Sunday is missing woman Elisabeth Nicholls. The 79 year old, who suffered from dementia, walked out of the Margaret Stoddart Retirement Village in Riccarton on the evening of 4 June, only hours after being admitted for respite care. On Sunday, Nicholls' body was discovered by police in Gracefield Avenue, just 250 metres from her home. She was formally identified on Monday. Gracefield Ave residents told RNZ they were shocked. Mora Dickson, who lived a few doors down from where Nicholls was found, said people had not been out and about much because of the cold weather. "It's a surprise. I wish I'd seen something," she said. She said the property Nicholls was found at had been empty for years. The Margaret Stoddart Retirement Village was run by Ryman Healthcare. In a statement, Ryman chief operating officer Marsha Cadman said the company was supporting its residents and team members in the village and continuing to liaise with police. "Ryman, along with our Margaret Stoddart Village team, are terribly saddened by the news that a body has been found in the search for Elisabeth Nicholls. Our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to Elisabeth's family and friends at this incredibly difficult time," she said. The company would work with Health NZ to look into what happened, a Ryman spokesperson said Elisabeth Nicholls. Photo: Supplied Nicholls was referred to the village for respite care by Health NZ. "Our contracts with them set out the level of care to be provided. Margaret Stoddart Village provides only rest home level care, whereby residents are able to come and go independently. This is not a dementia care facility," the spokesperson said. In a statement, Health New Zealand Te Waipounamu regional commissioner Chiquita Hansen said the agency acknowledged the past few weeks had been a distressing time for Nicholls' loved ones. "We will work with Ryman to look into what happened, which is standard practice, but for now our priority is working with Police and family at this difficult time," she said. Nicholls arrived at the retirement village on the morning of 4 June and was last seen at 6.01pm. "At 6.20pm, team members at the village became aware that Elisabeth may have chosen to leave, on what was her first night at the village, and immediately commenced a search of the premise," Ryman said. "A village search was undertaken including a search of each room, shared space and the rest home grounds, followed by contacting next of kin. As is standard protocol, if a resident is still unable to be located following this process, we then contact police." The last confirmed sighting of Nicholls was over an hour later at the Chateau on the Park Hotel in Riccarton, about 500 metres from the retirement village. Following her disappearance, police and Land Search and Rescue volunteers scoured areas of the city to find Nicholls. Pleas were made for the public to check their backyards and anywhere she might have taken refuge. In a statement, Nicholls' family said they were very saddened and relieved she had been found on Sunday. The family was very grateful for everyone's efforts in looking for her, particularly police and members of the Christchurch public. Detective Sergeant Luke Vaughan said on Sunday he hoped the discovery would help provide some closure for her family and loved ones. The death would be referred to the coroner.
