Should BIT Computer (KOSDAQ:032850) Be Disappointed With Their 76% Profit?

It hasn't been the best quarter for BIT Computer Co., Ltd (KOSDAQ:032850) shareholders, since the share price has fallen 22% in that time. While that might be a setback, it doesn't negate the nice returns received over the last twelve months. In that time we've seen the stock easily surpass the market return, with a gain of 76%.

To quote Buffett, 'Ships will sail around the world but the Flat Earth Society will flourish. There will continue to be wide discrepancies between price and value in the marketplace...' 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 BIT Computer grew its earnings per share (EPS) by 111%. It's fair to say that the share price gain of 76% did not keep pace with the EPS growth. Therefore, it seems the market isn't as excited about BIT Computer as it was before. This could be an opportunity.

A Different Perspective

It's good to see that BIT Computer has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 77% in the last twelve months. Of course, that includes the dividend.

Given the share price momentum remains strong, it might be worth taking a closer look at the stock, lest you miss an opportunity.
