The Fiore Gold (CVE:F) Share Price Is Up 181% And Shareholders Are Boasting About It

It hasn't been the best quarter for Fiore Gold Ltd. (CVE:F) shareholders, since the share price has fallen 18% in that time. On the other hand, over the last twelve months the stock has delivered rather impressive returns. Like an eagle, the share price soared 181% in that time. So it is important to view the recent reduction in price through that lense. The real question is whether the business is trending in the right direction.

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 the last year Fiore Gold saw its earnings per share (EPS) increase strongly. While that particular rate of growth is unlikely to be sustained for long, it is still remarkable. We are not surprised the share price is up. Strong growth like this can be evidence of a fundamental inflection point in the business, making it a good time to investigate the stock more closely.
