The simplest way to invest in stocks is to buy exchange traded funds. But investors can boost returns by picking market-beating companies to own shares in. To wit, the Space Group Holdings Limited (HKG:2448) share price is 22% higher than it was a year ago, much better than the market return of around -9.3% (not including dividends) in the same period. If it can keep that out-performance up over the long term, investors will do very well! Space Group Holdings hasn't been listed for long, so it's still not clear if it is a long term winner.

While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational. 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).
During the last year, Space Group Holdings actually saw its earnings per share drop 46%. So we don't think that investors are paying too much attention to EPS. Since the change in EPS doesn't seem to correlate with the change in share price, it's worth taking a look at other metrics.
Unfortunately Space Group Holdings's fell 16% over twelve months. So the fundamental metrics don't provide an obvious explanation for the share price gain.
