If you want to compound wealth in the stock market, you can do so by buying an index fund. But you can significantly boost your returns by picking above-average stocks. For example, the Sdiptech AB (publ) (STO:SDIP B) share price is up 10% in the last year, clearly besting than the market return of around -1.2% (not including dividends). That's a solid performance by our standards! Sdiptech hasn't been listed for long, so it's still not clear if it is a long term winner.

To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. 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).
Over the last twelve months, Sdiptech actually shrank its EPS by 50%. So we don't think that investors are paying too much attention to EPS. Indeed, when EPS is declining but the share price is up, it often means the market is considering other factors.
However the year on year revenue growth of 37% would help. We do see some companies suppress earnings in order to accelerate revenue growth.

Shorter term share price moves often don't signify much about the business itself.
