The five-year shareholder returns and company earnings persist lower as Inmyshow Digital Technology(Group)Co.Ltd (SHSE:600556) stock falls a further 21% in past week

While not a mind-blowing move, it is good to see that the Inmyshow Digital Technology(Group)Co.,Ltd. (SHSE:600556) share price has gained 13% in the last three months. But that is little comfort to those holding over the last half decade, sitting on a big loss. In that time the share price has delivered a rude shock to holders, who find themselves down 60% after a long stretch. So we're not so sure if the recent bounce should be celebrated. We'd err towards caution given the long term under-performance.

If the past week is anything to go by, investor sentiment for Inmyshow Digital Technology(Group)Co.Ltd isn't positive, so let's see if there's a mismatch between fundamentals and the share price.

Check out our latest analysis for Inmyshow Digital Technology(Group)Co.Ltd

There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS).

Looking back five years, both Inmyshow Digital Technology(Group)Co.Ltd's share price and EPS declined; the latter at a rate of 33% per year. The share price decline of 17% per year isn't as bad as the EPS decline. So the market may previously have expected a drop, or else it expects the situation will improve. With a P/E ratio of 209.90, it's fair to say the market sees a brighter future for the business.
