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).

Over the last twelve months, DawonsysLtd actually shrank its EPS by 52%.

This means it's unlikely the market is judging the company based on earnings growth. Therefore, it seems likely that investors are putting more weight on metrics other than EPS, at the moment.

We are skeptical of the suggestion that the 0.5% dividend yield would entice buyers to the stock. We think that the revenue growth of 67% could have some investors interested. We do see some companies suppress earnings in order to accelerate revenue growth.
