There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. 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.
Hemisphere Media Group has made a profit in the past. On the other hand, it reported a trailing twelve months loss, suggesting it isn't reliably profitable. So it might be better to look at other metrics to try to understand the share price.
We severely doubt anyone is particularly impressed with the modest 0.7% three-year revenue growth rate. While we don't have an obvious theory to explain the share price rise, a closer look at the data might be enlightening.

Hemisphere Media Group provided a TSR of 0.8% over the last twelve months. But that return falls short of the market. If we look back over five years, the returns are even better, coming in at 1.9% per year for five years. It may well be that this is a business worth popping on the watching, given the continuing positive reception, over time, from the market.
