To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement.
During the last year InnovAge Holding saw its earnings per share drop below zero. Some investors no doubt dumped the stock as a result. However, there may be an opportunity for investors if the company can recover.

It's not great that InnovAge Holding shares failed to make money for shareholders in the last year, but the silver lining is that the loss of 14%, wasn't as bad as the broader market loss of about 17%. On the plus side, the share price has bounced a full 41% in the last three months. The recent uptick could be an early suggestion that the prior falls were too extreme; but we'll need to see how the business progresses. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important.
