Yahoo Finance Easy Come, Easy Go: How Glory Sun Land Group (HKG:299) Shareholders Got Unlucky And Saw 91% Of Their Cash Evaporate
Long term investing works well, but it doesn't always work for each individual stock. We don't wish catastrophic capital loss on anyone. Anyone who held Glory Sun Land Group Limited (HKG:299) for five years would be nursing their metaphorical wounds since the share price dropped 91% in that time. It's up 3.1% in the last seven days.
While a drop like that is definitely a body blow, money isn't as important as health and happiness.

While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational. 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 five years of share price growth, Glory Sun Land Group moved from a loss to profitability. Most would consider that to be a good thing, so it's counter-intuitive to see the share price declining. Other metrics might give us a better handle on how its value is changing over time.
Revenue is actually up 66% over the time period. So it seems one might have to take closer look at the fundamentals to understand why the share price languishes. After all, there may be an opportunity.
