Check out our latest analysis for Jetpak Top Holding

While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational. 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, Jetpak Top Holding actually shrank its EPS by 32%.

This means it's unlikely the market is judging the company based on earnings growth. Since the change in EPS doesn't seem to correlate with the change in share price, it's worth taking a look at other metrics.

However the year on year revenue growth of 3.7% would help. Many businesses do go through a phase where they have to forgo some profits to drive business development, and sometimes its for the best.
