While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement.

V-One Tech saw its EPS decline at a compound rate of 29% per year, over the last three years. This change in EPS is reasonably close to the 26% average annual decrease in the share price. So it seems that investor expectations of the company are staying pretty steady, despite the disappointment. Rather, the share price has approximately tracked EPS growth.

It could well be that the business is stabilizing. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term.
