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).

Unhappily, Iervolino Entertainment had to report a 93% decline in EPS over the last year. This fall in the EPS is significantly worse than the 30% the share price fall. So despite the weak per-share profits, some investors are probably relieved the situation wasn't more difficult.

A Different Perspective

Iervolino Entertainment shareholders are down 30% for the year, even worse than the market loss of 8.3%. There's no doubt that's a disappointment, but the stock may well have fared better in a stronger market. It's great to see a nice little 28% rebound in the last three months. Let's just hope this isn't the widely-feared 'dead cat bounce' (which would indicate further declines to come). It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term.
