Yahoo Finance Those who invested in AerSale (NASDAQ:ASLE) three years ago are up 62%
It might be of some concern to shareholders to see the AerSale Corporation (NASDAQ:ASLE) share price down 17% in the last month. But at least the stock is up over the last three years. In that time, it is up 62%, which isn't bad, but not amazing either.
So let's investigate and see if the longer term performance of the company has been in line with the underlying business' progress.
Check out our latest analysis for AerSale
In his essay The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville Warren Buffett described how share prices do not always rationally reflect the value of a business. 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 three years of share price growth, AerSale moved from a loss to profitability. So we would expect a higher share price over the period.

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.

A Different Perspective
While it's never nice to take a loss, AerSale shareholders can take comfort that their trailing twelve month loss of 0.6% wasn't as bad as the market loss of around -13%. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 17%, each year, over three years. It's possible that the recent share price decline has more to do with the negative broader market returns than any company specific development. 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. Consider risks, for instance. Every company has them, and we've spotted 1 warning sign for AerSale you should know about.
