Wooree BioLtd (KOSDAQ:082850) Shareholders Have Enjoyed A Whopping 478% Share Price Gain

The Wooree Bio Co.,Ltd (KOSDAQ:082850) share price has had a bad week, falling 17%. But over the last year the share price has taken off like one of Elon Musk's rockets. In fact, it is up 478% in that time. So the recent fall isn't enough to negate the good performance. The real question is whether the fundamental business performance can justify the strong increase over the long term.

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 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 Wooree BioLtd grew its earnings per share, moving from a loss to a profit.

When a company is just on the edge of profitability it can be well worth considering other metrics in order to more precisely gauge growth (and therefore understand share price movements).

Revenue was pretty stable on last year, so deeper research might be needed to explain the share price rise.

A Different Perspective

It's good to see that Wooree BioLtd has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 478% in the last twelve months. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 23% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. Someone with an optimistic perspective could view the recent improvement in TSR as indicating that the business itself is getting better with time. 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.
