In his essay The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville Warren Buffett described how share prices do not always rationally reflect the value of a business. 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).

Interojo saw its EPS decline at a compound rate of 5.8% per year, over the last three years. This reduction in EPS is slower than the 22% annual reduction in the share price. So it seems the market was too confident about the business, in the past.
