A Different Perspective
We're pleased to report that Synaptics shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 133% over one year. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 12% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. Someone with an optimistic perspective could view the recent improvement in TSR as indicating that the business itself is getting better with time. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Synaptics better, we need to consider many other factors.
