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.
During the five years of share price growth, Capxon International Electronic moved from a loss to profitability. That would generally be considered a positive, so we'd expect the share price to be up.

Even though the company isn't paying dividends at the moment, it has done in the past.
A Different Perspective
