Post-Earnings Price Action ReviewThe strategic approach of investing in Orion Properties (ONL) shares following revenue increases and holding for 30 days has historically yielded a 54% total shareholder return (TSR) over the past five years, surpassing the share price return. However, this return was still below the market's 103% return. Despite strong revenue growth at a compound rate of 10% over the past five years, the company's earnings per share (EPS) decreased by 12% annually. This indicates that while revenue growth has been robust, it hasn't translated into equivalent gains in EPS, suggesting potential areas for operational improvements or cost management.
