The simplest way to benefit from a rising market is to buy an index fund. Active investors aim to buy stocks that vastly outperform the market - but in the process, they risk under-performance. That downside risk was realized by Everi Holdings Inc. (NYSE:EVRI) shareholders over the last year, as the share price declined 45%. That's disappointing when you consider the market returned 26%. At least the damage isn't so bad if you look at the last three years, since the stock is down 27% in that time. And the share price decline continued over the last week, dropping some 6.0%. This could be related to the recent financial results - you can catch up on the most recent data by reading our company report.

If the past week is anything to go by, investor sentiment for Everi Holdings isn't positive, so let's see if there's a mismatch between fundamentals and the share price.

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).

Unfortunately Everi Holdings reported an EPS drop of 28% for the last year. This reduction in EPS is not as bad as the 45% share price fall. So it seems the market was too confident about the business, a year ago. The less favorable sentiment is reflected in its current P/E ratio of 10.51.

We consider it positive that insiders have made significant purchases in the last year. Even so, future earnings will be far more important to whether current shareholders make money. It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on Everi Holdings' earnings, revenue and cash flow.

A Different Perspective

While the broader market gained around 26% in the last year, Everi Holdings shareholders lost 45%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 7%, each year, over five years. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Everi Holdings better, we need to consider many other factors.
