But no-one is immune from buying too high.  Zooming in on an example, the NagaCorp Ltd. (HKG:3918) share price dropped 71% in the last half decade.  That is extremely sub-optimal, to say the least.    And we doubt long term believers are the only worried holders, since the stock price has declined 28% over the last twelve months.     The falls have accelerated recently, with the share price down 29% in the last three months.      Given the past week has been tough on shareholders, let's investigate the fundamentals and see what we can learn.   Check out our latest analysis for NagaCorp   To quote Buffett, 'Ships will sail around the world but the Flat Earth Society will flourish. There will continue to be wide discrepancies between price and value in the marketplace...'  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).   Looking back five years, both NagaCorp's share price and EPS declined; the latter at a rate of 15% per year.   This reduction in EPS is less than the 22% annual reduction in the share price.  This implies that the market was previously too optimistic about the stock.   The less favorable sentiment is reflected in its current P/E ratio of 10.19.    The image below shows how EPS has tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). SEHK:3918 Earnings Per Share Growth August 14th 2024 We like that insiders have been buying shares in the last twelve months.  Even so, future earnings will be far more important to whether current shareholders make money.  This free interactive report on NagaCorp's earnings, revenue and cash flow is a great place to start, if you want to investigate the stock further.   A Different Perspective Investors in NagaCorp had a tough year, with a total loss of 28%, against a market gain of about 2.8%.  Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested.     Regrettably, last year's performance caps off a bad run, with the shareholders facing a total loss of 11% per year over five years.  We realise that Baron Rothschild has said investors should \"buy when there is blood on the streets\", but we caution that investors should first be sure they are buying a high quality business.
