It's understandable if you feel frustrated when a stock you own sees a lower share price. But sometimes broader market conditions have more of an impact on prices than the actual business performance. The Summit Financial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMMF) is down 10% over a year, but the total shareholder return is -7.8% once you include the dividend. And that total return actually beats the market decline of 10%. At least the damage isn't so bad if you look at the last three years, since the stock is down 4.1% in that time. The share price has dropped 14% in three months.
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.
