But really big losses can really drag down an overall portfolio.  So consider, for a moment, the misfortune of EC Healthcare (HKG:2138) investors who have held the stock for three years as it declined a whopping 90%.  That would be a disturbing experience.    And over the last year the share price fell 74%, so we doubt many shareholders are delighted.     The falls have accelerated recently, with the share price down 43% in the last three months.    We note that the company has reported results fairly recently; and the market is hardly delighted. You can check out the latest numbers in our company report. While a drop like that is definitely a body blow, money isn't as important as health and happiness.   Given the past week has been tough on shareholders, let's investigate the fundamentals and see what we can learn.   See our latest analysis for EC Healthcare   While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just 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).   EC Healthcare saw its share price decline over the three years in which its EPS also dropped, falling to a loss.   Extraordinary items contributed to this situation.   Due to the loss, it's not easy to use EPS as a reliable guide to the business.  However, we can say we'd expect to see a falling share price in this scenario.  The graphic below depicts how EPS has changed over time (unveil the exact values by clicking on the image). SEHK:2138 Earnings Per Share Growth August 16th 2024 This free interactive report on EC Healthcare's earnings, revenue and cash flow is a great place to start, if you want to investigate the stock further.   A Different Perspective While the broader market gained around 4.8% in the last year, EC Healthcare shareholders lost 73%.  However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period.     Unfortunately, last year's performance may indicate unresolved challenges, given that it was worse than the annualised loss of 13% over the last half decade.  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.
