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 the last year Advanced Medical Solutions Group grew its earnings per share (EPS) by 103%. It's fair to say that the share price gain of 20% did not keep pace with the EPS growth. So it seems like the market has cooled on Advanced Medical Solutions Group, despite the growth. Interesting.
