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 imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement.

During the last year KOLMAR BNH grew its earnings per share (EPS) by 32%. This EPS growth is significantly lower than the 90% increase in the share price. This indicates that the market is now more optimistic about the stock.
