Newmark Group (NASDAQ:NMRK) Share Prices Have Dropped 58% In The Last Year
While not a mind-blowing move, it is good to see that the Newmark Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:NMRK) share price has gained 11% in the last three months. But that's not enough to compensate for the decline over the last twelve months. Specifically, the stock price slipped by 58% in that time. The share price recovery is not so impressive when you consider the fall. Of course, it could be that the fall was overdone.

While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just 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.
Unfortunately Newmark Group reported an EPS drop of 38% for the last year. This reduction in EPS is not as bad as the 58% share price fall. So it seems the market was too confident about the business, a year ago. The P/E ratio of 11.72 also points to the negative market sentiment.

A Different Perspective
While Newmark Group shareholders are down 57% for the year (even including dividends), the market itself is up 18%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. It's great to see a nice little 11% rebound in the last three months. Let's just hope this isn't the widely-feared 'dead cat bounce' (which would indicate further declines to come). It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Newmark Group better, we need to consider many other factors.
