It is doubtless a positive to see that the Bitcoin Group SE (ETR:ADE) share price has gained some 84% in the last three months. But that is minimal compensation for the share price under-performance over the last year. The cold reality is that the stock has dropped 29% in one year, under-performing the market.

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 imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement.
Bitcoin Group stole the show with its EPS rocketing, in the last year. The rate of growth may not be sustainable, but it is still really positive. So we are surprised the share price is down. Some different data might shed some more light on the situation.
Bitcoin Group's revenue is actually up 680% over the last year. Since the fundamental metrics don't readily explain the share price drop, there might be an opportunity if the market has overreacted.

A Different Perspective
Bitcoin Group shareholders are down 29% for the year, even worse than the market loss of 4.1%. That's disappointing, but it's worth keeping in mind that the market-wide selling wouldn't have helped. It's great to see a nice little 84% rebound in the last three months. Let's just hope this isn't the widely-feared 'dead cat bounce' (which would indicate further declines to come).
