In fact, the stock price has fallen by 71% over the past three years. So it's time for shareholders to get some returns. What you need to think about is whether your business has really improved.

Markets are powerful pricing mechanisms, but stock prices reflect not only underlying business performance but also investor sentiment. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has changed is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement.
Zhong An Group has seen its EPS decline at an average rate of 26% per year over the last three years. This decline in EPS is slower than the 34% annual decline in the share price. So it seems like the market used to have too much confidence in this business. The less favorable sentiment is reflected in his current PER of 2.45.
