Yahoo Finance Did You Manage To Avoid ANGI Homeservices's (NASDAQ:ANGI) Painful 56% Share Price Drop?
ANGI Homeservices Inc. (NASDAQ:ANGI) shareholders should be happy to see the share price up 11% in the last month. But that's small comfort given the dismal price performance over the last year. Like a receding glacier in a warming world, the share price has melted 56% in that period. So the bounce should be viewed in that context. Of course, it could be that the fall was overdone.

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 flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price.
ANGI Homeservices managed to increase earnings per share from a loss to a profit, over the last 12 months.
When a company has just transitioned to profitability, earnings per share growth is not always the best way to look at the share price action. So it makes sense to check out some other factors.

A Different Perspective
While ANGI Homeservices shareholders are down 56% for the year, the market itself is up 11%. While the aim is to do better than that, it's worth recalling that even great long-term investments sometimes underperform for a year or more. Putting aside the last twelve months, it's good to see the share price has rebounded by 0.4%, in the last ninety days. Let's just hope this isn't the widely-feared 'dead cat bounce' (which would indicate further declines to come). Most investors take the time to check the data on insider transactions.
