Should GeneBioTech Ltd (KOSDAQ:086060) Be Disappointed With Their 90% Profit?

We believe investing is smart because history shows that stock markets go higher in the long term. But if when you choose to buy stocks, some of them will be below average performers. For example, the GeneBioTech Co. ,Ltd (KOSDAQ:086060), share price is up over the last year, but its gain of 90% trails the market return. However, the longer term returns haven't been so impressive, with the stock up just 5.6% in the last three years.

While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time.

GeneBioTech Ltd was able to grow EPS by 14% in the last twelve months. The share price gain of 90% 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. The fairly generous P/E ratio of 60.69 also points to this optimism.
