Borosil Renewables (NSE:BORORENEW) Shareholders Have Enjoyed A 61% Share Price Gain

These days it's easy to simply buy an index fund, and your returns should (roughly) match the market. But one can do better than that by picking better than average stocks (as part of a diversified portfolio). For example, the Borosil Renewables Limited (NSE:BORORENEW) share price is up 61% in the last year, clearly besting the market return of around 14% (not including dividends). So that should have shareholders smiling. Note that businesses generally develop over the long term, so the returns over the last year might not reflect a long term trend.

While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just 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).

During the last year Borosil Renewables saw its earnings per share (EPS) drop below zero. While some may see this as temporary, we're a skeptical bunch, and so we're a little surprised to see the share price go up. It may be that the company has done well on other metrics.

Borosil Renewables' revenue actually dropped 96% over last year. So the fundamental metrics don't provide an obvious explanation for the share price gain.
