In his essay The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville Warren Buffett described how share prices do not always rationally reflect the value of a business. By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time.
Dyna-Mac Holdings became profitable within the last five years. That would generally be considered a positive, so we are surprised to see the share price is down. Other metrics might give us a better handle on how its value is changing over time.
It could be that the revenue decline of 29% per year is viewed as evidence that Dyna-Mac Holdings is shrinking. That could explain the weak share price.

A Different Perspective
We regret to report that Dyna-Mac Holdings shareholders are down 17% for the year. Unfortunately, that's worse than the broader market decline of 5.2%. Having said that, it's inevitable that some stocks will be oversold in a falling market. The key is to keep your eyes on the fundamental developments. Unfortunately, longer term shareholders are suffering worse, given the loss of 22% doled out over the last five years. We'd need to see some sustained improvements in the key metrics before we could muster much enthusiasm.
