Reflecting on JTC's (KOSDAQ:950170) Share Price Returns Over The Last Year

While not a mind-blowing move, it is good to see that the JTC Inc. (KOSDAQ:950170) share price has gained 13% in the last three months. But that is minimal compensation for the share price under-performance over the last year. In fact the stock is down 41% in the last year, well below the market return.

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 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 JTC saw its earnings per share drop below zero. While this may prove temporary, we'd consider it a negative, so it doesn't surprise us that the stock price is down. Of course, if the company can turn the situation around, investors will likely profit.

A Different Perspective

While JTC shareholders are down 41% for the year (even including dividends), the market itself is up 42%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. It's great to see a nice little 13% rebound in the last three months. Let's just hope this isn't the widely-feared 'dead cat bounce' (which would indicate further declines to come). While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important.
