Gain Plus Holdings (HKG:8522) Shareholders Have Enjoyed A 71% Share Price Gain
Passive investing in index funds can generate returns that roughly match the overall market. But investors can boost returns by picking market-beating companies to own shares in. For example, the Gain Plus Holdings Limited (HKG:8522) share price is up 71% in the last year, clearly besting the market return of around -1.9% (not including dividends). If it can keep that out-performance up over the long term, investors will do very well! Gain Plus Holdings hasn't been listed for long, so it's still not clear if it is a long term winner.

There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time.
Gain Plus Holdings was able to grow EPS by 48% in the last twelve months. The share price gain of 71% certainly outpaced the EPS growth. So it's fair to assume the market has a higher opinion of the business than it a year ago.

A Different Perspective
It's nice to see that Gain Plus Holdings shareholders have gained 71% over the last year. The more recent returns haven't been as impressive as the longer term returns, coming in at just 1.4%. Having said that, we doubt shareholders would be concerned. It seems the market is simply waiting on more information, because if the business delivers so will the share price (eventually).
