Shareholders Are Thrilled That The International Cement Group (SGX:KUO) Share Price Increased 200%

International Cement Group Ltd. (SGX:KUO) shareholders have seen the share price descend 28% over the month. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last year have been very strong. Indeed, the share price is up an impressive 200% in that time. So it may be that the share price is simply cooling off after a strong rise. More important, going forward, is how the business itself is going.

To quote Buffett, 'Ships will sail around the world but the Flat Earth Society will flourish. There will continue to be wide discrepancies between price and value in the marketplace...' 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.

During the last year International Cement Group grew its earnings per share (EPS) by 4.5%. The share price gain of 200% certainly outpaced the EPS growth. So it's fair to assume the market has a higher opinion of the business than it a year ago.
