Yahoo Finance Investors in tinyBuild (LON:TBLD) have unfortunately lost 67% over the last year
Investing in stocks comes with the risk that the share price will fall. Anyone who held tinyBuild, Inc. (LON:TBLD) over the last year knows what a loser feels like. The share price is down a hefty 67% in that time. tinyBuild may have better days ahead, of course; we've only looked at a one year period. Furthermore, it's down 57% in about a quarter. That's not much fun for holders.
Since shareholders are down over the longer term, lets look at the underlying fundamentals over the that time and see if they've been consistent with returns.

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.
Even though the tinyBuild share price is down over the year, its EPS actually improved. It's quite possible that growth expectations may have been unreasonable in the past.
The divergence between the EPS and the share price is quite notable, during the year. So it's well worth checking out some other metrics, too.
tinyBuild managed to grow revenue over the last year, which is usually a real positive. Since we can't easily explain the share price movement based on these metrics, it might be worth considering how market sentiment has changed towards the stock.

A Different Perspective
We doubt tinyBuild shareholders are happy with the loss of 67% over twelve months. That falls short of the market, which lost 0.7%. That's disappointing, but it's worth keeping in mind that the market-wide selling wouldn't have helped. The share price decline has continued throughout the most recent three months, down 57%, suggesting an absence of enthusiasm from investors. Given the relatively short history of this stock, we'd remain pretty wary until we see some strong business performance. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. To that end, you should be aware of the 1 warning sign we've spotted with tinyBuild .
