The nature of investing is that you win some, and you lose some. And unfortunately for Shenzhen Fine Made Electronics Group Co., Ltd. (SZSE:300671) shareholders, the stock is a lot lower today than it was a year ago. In that relatively short period, the share price has plunged 60%. However, the longer term returns haven't been so bad, with the stock down 25% in the last three years. Shareholders have had an even rougher run lately, with the share price down 50% in the last 90 days.

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

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. 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.

During the last year Shenzhen Fine Made Electronics Group saw its earnings per share drop below zero. Some investors no doubt dumped the stock as a result. We hope for shareholders' sake that the company becomes profitable again soon.

A Different Perspective

While the broader market lost about 24% in the twelve months, Shenzhen Fine Made Electronics Group shareholders did even worse, losing 60%. Having said that, it's inevitable that some stocks will be oversold in a falling market. The key is to keep your eyes on the fundamental developments. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 9%, each year, over five years. If the fundamental data continues to indicate long term sustainable growth, the current sell-off could be an opportunity worth considering.
