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).
Wing Yip Food Holdings Group was able to grow EPS by 29% in the last twelve months. The share price gain of 81% certainly outpaced the EPS growth. So it's fair to assume the market has a higher opinion of the business than it a year ago.
