If You Had Bought Dominion Hosting Holding (BIT:DHH) Shares A Year Ago You'd Have Earned 134% Returns

When you buy shares in a company, there is always a risk that the price drops to zero. But when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%. Take, for example Dominion Hosting Holding S.p.A. (BIT:DHH). Its share price is already up an impressive 134% in the last twelve months. It's also good to see the share price up 14% over the last quarter. But this move may well have been assisted by the reasonably buoyant market (up 9.8% in 90 days). And shareholders have also done well over the long term, with an increase of 67% in the last three years.

While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational. 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 Dominion Hosting Holding saw its earnings per share (EPS) increase strongly. While that particular rate of growth is unlikely to be sustained for long, it is still remarkable. So we'd expect to see the share price higher. We're real advocates of letting inflection points like this guide our research as stock pickers.
