So spare a thought for the long term shareholders of Hainan Meilan International Airport Company Limited (HKG:357); the share price is down a whopping 83% in the last three years. That'd be enough to cause even the strongest minds some disquiet. And more recent buyers are having a tough time too, with a drop of 58% in the last year. The falls have accelerated recently, with the share price down 41% in the last three months. We really feel for shareholders in this scenario.

In his essay The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville Warren Buffett described how share prices do not always rationally reflect the value of a business. 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).
Hainan Meilan International Airport saw its share price decline over the three years in which its EPS also dropped, falling to a loss. Since the company has fallen to a loss making position, it's hard to compare the change in EPS with the share price change.
