Stillfront Group (STO:SF) Shareholders Have Enjoyed An Impressive 205% Share Price Gain

It might be of some concern to shareholders to see the Stillfront Group AB (publ) (STO:SF) share price down 15% in the last month. Despite this, the stock is a strong performer over the last year, no doubt about that. During that period, the share price soared a full 205%. So it is important to view the recent reduction in price through that lense. Only time will tell if there is still too much optimism currently reflected in the share price.

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. 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 Stillfront Group grew its earnings per share (EPS) by 45%. This EPS growth is significantly lower than the 205% increase in the share price. This indicates that the market is now more optimistic about the stock. The fairly generous P/E ratio of 54.98 also points to this optimism.
