Update: Lintes Technology (TPE:6715) Stock Gained 16% In The Last Year

On average, over time, stock markets tend to rise higher. This makes investing attractive. But if when you choose to buy stocks, some of them will be below average performers. Over the last year the Lintes Technology Co., Ltd. (TPE:6715) share price is up 16%, but that's less than the broader market return. Lintes Technology hasn't been listed for long, so it's still not clear if it is a long term winner.

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 imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement.

Lintes Technology was able to grow EPS by 4.0% in the last twelve months. This EPS growth is significantly lower than the 16% increase in the share price. So it's fair to assume the market has a higher opinion of the business than it a year ago.

A Different Perspective

Lintes Technology shareholders have gained 17% for the year (even including dividends). The bad news is that's no better than the average market return, which was roughly 39%. The stock trailed the market by 16% in that time, testament to the power of passive investing. It might be that investors are more concerned about the business lately due to some fundamental change (or else the share price simply got ahead of itself, previously).
