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

Over the last twelve months, V-One Tech actually shrank its EPS by 25%.

This means it's unlikely the market is judging the company based on earnings growth. Therefore, it seems likely that investors are putting more weight on metrics other than EPS, at the moment.

We doubt the modest 0.9% dividend yield is doing much to support the share price. We think that the revenue growth of 5.7% could have some investors interested. We do see some companies suppress earnings in order to accelerate revenue growth.

A Different Perspective

V-One Tech shareholders have gained 89% over twelve months (even including dividends). This isn't far from the market return of 90%. Given the three-year TSR of 11% per year, shareholders probably aren't too concerned by the recent gain! The optimist would say that this might be the dawn of a brighter future. 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.
