If You Had Bought EO Technics (KOSDAQ:039030) Shares A Year Ago You'd Have Earned 18% Returns

We believe investing is smart because history shows that stock markets go higher in the long term. But not every stock you buy will perform as well as the overall market. For example, the EO Technics Co., Ltd. (KOSDAQ:039030), share price is up over the last year, but its gain of 18% trails the market return. However, the longer term returns haven't been so impressive, with the stock up just 12% in the last three years.

To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. 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.

During the last year EO Technics grew its earnings per share (EPS) by 87%. It's fair to say that the share price gain of 18% did not keep pace with the EPS growth. So it seems like the market has cooled on EO Technics, despite the growth. Interesting.

A Different Perspective

EO Technics shareholders gained a total return of 18% during the year. But that return falls short of the market. On the bright side, that's still a gain, and it is certainly better than the yearly loss of about 0.9% endured over half a decade. So this might be a sign the business has turned its fortunes around.
