To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. 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).

Over the last twelve months, Kenturn Nano. Tec actually shrank its EPS by 9.8%.

So we don't think that investors are paying too much attention to EPS. Therefore, it seems likely that investors are putting more weight on metrics other than EPS, at the moment.

We doubt the modest 0.9% dividend yield is doing much to support the share price. However the year on year revenue growth of 5.3% 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.
