Yahoo Finance Does Shineco's (NASDAQ:TYHT) Share Price Gain of 91% Match Its Business Performance?
The simplest way to invest in stocks is to buy exchange traded funds. But investors can boost returns by picking market-beating companies to own shares in. For example, the Shineco, Inc. (NASDAQ:TYHT) share price is up 91% in the last year, clearly besting the market return of around 34% (not including dividends). That's a solid performance by our standards! On the other hand, longer term shareholders have had a tougher run, with the stock falling 76% in three years.

There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect 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 Shineco saw its earnings per share (EPS) drop below zero. While this may prove temporary, we'd consider it a negative, so we would not have expected to see the share price up. It may be that the company has done well on other metrics.
Unfortunately Shineco's fell 30% over twelve months. So using a snapshot of key business metrics doesn't give us a good picture of why the market is bidding up the stock.

A Different Perspective
It's nice to see that Shineco shareholders have gained 91% (in total) over the last year. What is absolutely clear is that is far preferable to the dismal 37% average annual loss suffered over the last three years. It could well be that the business has turned around -- or else regained the confidence of investors.
