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).
During the last year Xenia Hotels & Resorts saw its earnings per share (EPS) drop below zero. While some may see this as temporary, we're a skeptical bunch, and so we're a little surprised to see the share price go up. It may be that the company has done well on other metrics.
Xenia Hotels & Resorts' revenue actually dropped 77% over last year. So the fundamental metrics don't provide an obvious explanation for the share price gain.

It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Xenia Hotels & Resorts better, we need to consider many other factors.
