Seoulin Bioscience Co.,Ltd. (KOSDAQ:038070) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 11% in the last month. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last year have been pleasing. After all, the share price is up a market-beating 54% in that time.

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 flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price.

During the last year, Seoulin BioscienceLtd actually saw its earnings per share drop 50%.

So we don't think that investors are paying too much attention to EPS. Therefore, it seems likely that investors are putting more weight on metrics other than EPS, at the moment.

We doubt the modest 0.7% dividend yield is doing much to support the share price. We think that the revenue growth of 23% could have some investors interested. Many businesses do go through a phase where they have to forgo some profits to drive business development, and sometimes its for the best.

A Different Perspective

It's nice to see that Seoulin BioscienceLtd shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 55% over the last year. That's including the dividend. That gain is better than the annual TSR over five years, which is 5%. Therefore it seems like sentiment around the company has been positive lately. Someone with an optimistic perspective could view the recent improvement in TSR as indicating that the business itself is getting better with time. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too.
