The most you can lose on any stock (assuming you don't use leverage) is 100% of your money. But when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%. To wit, the Firan Technology Group Corporation (TSE:FTG) share price has flown 209% in the last three years. That sort of return is as solid as granite. On top of that, the share price is up 29% in about a quarter.
So let's investigate and see if the longer term performance of the company has been in line with the underlying business' progress.

While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just 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.
Firan Technology Group was able to grow its EPS at 83% per year over three years, sending the share price higher. This EPS growth is higher than the 46% average annual increase in the share price. Therefore, it seems the market has moderated its expectations for growth, somewhat.

A Different Perspective

Given the share price momentum remains strong, it might be worth taking a closer look at the stock, lest you miss an opportunity.
