If you want to compound wealth in the stock market, you can do so by buying an index fund. But investors can boost returns by picking market-beating companies to own shares in. For example, the Kino Polska TV Spolka Akcyjna (WSE:KPL) share price is up 33% in the last year, clearly besting the market return of around 3.7% (not including dividends). So that should have shareholders smiling. The longer term returns have not been as good, with the stock price only 10% higher than it was three years ago.

There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. 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 Kino Polska TV Spolka Akcyjna grew its earnings per share (EPS) by 128%. It's fair to say that the share price gain of 33% did not keep pace with the EPS growth. So it seems like the market has cooled on Kino Polska TV Spolka Akcyjna, despite the growth. Interesting. This cautious sentiment is reflected in its (fairly low) P/E ratio of 11.63.
