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 imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement.

Yura Tech was able to grow EPS by 14% in the last twelve months. This EPS growth is significantly lower than the 61% increase in the share price. So it's fair to assume the market has a higher opinion of the business than it a year ago.

Someone with an optimistic perspective could view the recent improvement in TSR as indicating that the business itself is getting better with time.
