The truth is that if you invest for long enough, you're going to end up with some losing stocks. But long term Thiz Technology Group Limited (HKG:8119) shareholders have had a particularly rough ride in the last three year. Sadly for them, the share price is down 60% in that time. And more recent buyers are having a tough time too, with a drop of 49% in the last year. The silver lining is that the stock is up 3.3% in about a week.

While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time.
Thiz Technology Group became profitable within the last five years. That would generally be considered a positive, so we are surprised to see the share price is down. So given the share price is down it's worth checking some other metrics too.
We note that, in three years, revenue has actually grown at a 89% annual rate, so that doesn't seem to be a reason to sell shares. This analysis is just perfunctory, but it might be worth researching Thiz Technology Group more closely, as sometimes stocks fall unfairly. This could present an opportunity.

A Different Perspective
We regret to report that Thiz Technology Group shareholders are down 49% for the year. Unfortunately, that's worse than the broader market decline of 4.3%. However, it could simply be that the share price has been impacted by broader market jitters. It might be worth keeping an eye on the fundamentals, in case there's a good opportunity. Unfortunately, last year's performance may indicate unresolved challenges, given that it was worse than the annualised loss of 15% over the last half decade. Generally speaking long term share price weakness can be a bad sign, though contrarian investors might want to research the stock in hope of a turnaround.
