Prosperity Bancshares (NYSE:PB) shareholders have earned a 7.5% CAGR over the last five years
When you buy and hold a stock for the long term, you definitely want it to provide a positive return. Better yet, you'd like to see the share price move up more than the market average. But Prosperity Bancshares, Inc. (NYSE:PB) has fallen short of that second goal, with a share price rise of 22% over five years, which is below the market return. Looking at the last year alone, the stock is up 15%. So let's assess the underlying fundamentals over the last 5 years and see if they've moved in lock-step with shareholder returns. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. 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. Over half a decade, Prosperity Bancshares managed to grow its earnings per share at 1.8% a year. This EPS growth is slower than the share price growth of 4% per year, over the same period. This suggests that market participants hold the company in higher regard, these days. That's not necessarily surprising considering the five-year track record of earnings growth. You can see below how EPS has changed over time (discover the exact values by clicking on the image). We know that Prosperity Bancshares has improved its bottom line lately, but is it going to grow revenue? Check if analysts think Prosperity Bancshares will grow revenue in the future. When looking at investment returns, it is important to consider the difference between total shareholder return (TSR) and share price return. Whereas the share price return only reflects the change in the share price, the TSR includes the value of dividends (assuming they were reinvested) and the benefit of any discounted capital raising or spin-off. Arguably, the TSR gives a more comprehensive picture of the return generated by a stock. As it happens, Prosperity Bancshares' TSR for the last 5 years was 43%, which exceeds the share price return mentioned earlier. This is largely a result of its dividend payments! It's nice to see that Prosperity Bancshares shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 19% over the last year. And that does include the dividend. That's better than the annualised return of 7% over half a decade, implying that the company is doing better recently. 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 Prosperity Bancshares better, we need to consider many other factors. Consider for instance, the ever-present spectre of investment risk. We've identified 1 warning sign with Prosperity Bancshares , and understanding them should be part of your investment process.

Titan Mining subsidiary secures $15m funding from EXIM for critical minerals development
Titan Mining has announced that the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) has approved $15.8m in financing for its wholly owned subsidiary, Empire State Mines (ESM). This funding is designated for critical capital development to expand zinc production and advance ESM's critical minerals portfolio in St. Lawrence County, New York. This transaction represents EXIM's inaugural direct mining loan under the Make More in America Initiative (MMIA), a federal programme designed to reinforce industrial capacity, secure US supply chains for critical materials and bolster domestic manufacturing. The financing arrangement includes a seven-year tenor with a two-year interest-only grace period. The funds are earmarked for capital equipment and infrastructure improvements to bolster current and future operations at ESM. The cash flow from zinc operations will help reduce the cost of capital and de-leverage existing facilities. This financial strategy allows for efficient balance sheet structuring, maintaining flexibility for future growth and financing opportunities while enabling early investment in graphite production. The company has also committed to job creation and retention, with 135 existing jobs maintained and an additional ten new positions anticipated, in line with EXIM's requirements. Titan CEO Don Taylor commented: 'This financing marks a major step forward for Titan and the Empire State Mine. It enables us to further expand zinc production, accelerate our graphite development, and importantly, retain 135+ high-quality jobs in upstate New York while creating new skilled positions as we grow. EXIM's support reflects the strategic importance of our assets and validates our long-term vision.' In a related development, Critical Metals recently received a letter of interest from EXIM for a potential loan of up to $120m to finance its Tanbreez rare earths mine in Greenland. This move could signify the US' first overseas mining investment under the Trump administration, aiming to reduce dependency on China for critical minerals, especially amidst heightened trade tensions and Beijing's export restrictions on rare earths.

Trump delay of Iran bombing decision by two weeks puts U.S. markets into holding pattern
Trump's two-week delay on an Iran bombing decision has generated uncertainty that is holding investors (and businesses) back from making decisions. While the 'fear index' dropped, U.S. markets still slid slightly in premarket trading. Investors didn't exactly breathe a sigh of relief after President Trump postponed a decision on bombing Iran for two weeks. U.S. stock futures dipped about 0.2% across the board after the Juneteenth holiday, reflecting unease not just over a potential war—but over indecision as well. The issue? Investors didn't read the two-week delay as an opening for diplomacy that would avoid the most catastrophic outcome: a bombed Iran blocking critical petroleum shipments through the Strait of Hormuz and sending oil to $130. Instead, they viewed it as kicking the can down the road. The fear isn't escalation per se—it's prolonged uncertainty, with no concrete resolution in sight. 'That means two weeks of uncertainty for financial markets, but investors are still inclined to see the Middle East conflict as a local, not a global, economic issue,' UBS chief economist Paul Donovan said in a morning note seen by Fortune. Indeed, while shares in U.S. markets traded sideways Friday morning (as they have year to date), shares in Europe and parts of Asia rose (as they have year to date). Hong Kong's Hang Seng and India's Nifty 50 both jumped 1.3% on the day, while in midday trading the STOXX Europe 600 and London's FTSE rose 0.6%—and Germany's DAX posted a 1% rise. For the year, the S&P 500 is up 1.7% while the STOXX Europe 600 is up 5.6%. 'The Middle East tensions represent another potential adverse shock to a fairly weak economy,' Nicola Nobile, Oxford Economics' chief Italy economist, wrote in a Friday note about the eurozone economy. 'As we have shown, even the most severe scenario for oil prices would have a manageable impact on economic activity.' The divergence in sentiment comes down to uncertainty. Trump's delay mirrors a broader pattern—on tariffs, TikTok (he signed another 90-day divestment extension Thursday), and now Iran. The so-called TACO trade (Trump Always Chickens Out) may be catchy, but for markets, it signals a lack of clarity that causes executives and investors to stall. On Friday, the VIX—Wall Street's fear gauge—fell 7.9% after Thursday's spike on war talk. Still, it's up 18% on the year. Here's a snapshot of the action across global markets this morning: South Korea's Kospi was up 1.5%. India's Nifty 50 was up 1.3%. U.S. markets were closed yesterday for Juneteenth. S&P 500 futures were down 0.2% in premarket trading today. The U.K.'s FTSE 100 rose 0.6% in midday trading. China's Composite was down 0.1%. Japan's Nikkei 225 was down 0.2%. Hong Kong's Hang Seng was up 1.3%. This story was originally featured on
