Did You Miss Tower Semiconductor's (NASDAQ:TSEM) Impressive 102% Share Price Gain?
When you buy shares in a company, it's worth keeping in mind the possibility that it could fail, and you could lose your money. But when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%. For instance, the price of Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (NASDAQ:TSEM) stock is up an impressive 102% over the last five years. In the last week shares have slid back 4.4%.

While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. 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).
During five years of share price growth, Tower Semiconductor actually saw its EPS drop 8.7% per year.
This means it's unlikely the market is judging the company based on earnings growth. Because earnings per share don't seem to match up with the share price, we'll take a look at other metrics instead.
We are not particularly impressed by the annual compound revenue growth of 1.2% over five years. So it seems one might have to take closer look at earnings and revenue trends to see how they might influence the share price.
