It's easy to match the overall market return by buying an index fund. While individual stocks can be big winners, plenty more fail to generate satisfactory returns. For example, the HWASEUNG Industries Co.,Ltd. (KRX:006060) share price is down 42% in the last year. That contrasts poorly with the market return of 45%. Longer term shareholders haven't suffered as badly, since the stock is down a comparatively less painful 18% in three years. It's up 6.2% in the last seven days.

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).

Unfortunately HWASEUNG IndustriesLtd reported an EPS drop of 21% for the last year. The share price decline of 42% is actually more than the EPS drop. Unsurprisingly, given the lack of EPS growth, the market seems to be more cautious about the stock. The P/E ratio of 10.14 also points to the negative market sentiment.
