Yahoo Finance Even after rising 12% this past week, InnovAge Holding (NASDAQ:INNV) shareholders are still down 77% over the past year
It's nice to see the InnovAge Holding Corp. (NASDAQ:INNV) share price up 12% in a week. But that isn't much consolation for the painful drop we've seen in the last year. Specifically, the stock price nose-dived 77% in that time. So it's not that amazing to see a bit of a bounce. The important thing is whether the company can turn it around, longer term.
While the last year has been tough for InnovAge Holding shareholders, this past week has shown signs of promise. So let's look at the longer term fundamentals and see if they've been the driver of the negative 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. 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).
InnovAge Holding managed to increase earnings per share from a loss to a profit, over the last 12 months.
When a company has just transitioned to profitability, earnings per share growth is not always the best way to look at the share price action. But we may find different metrics more enlightening.
InnovAge Holding's revenue is actually up 13% over the last year. 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 InnovAge Holding shareholders are happy with the loss of 77% over twelve months. That falls short of the market, which lost 10%. There's no doubt that's a disappointment, but the stock may well have fared better in a stronger market. It's great to see a nice little 1.4% 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). It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand InnovAge Holding better, we need to consider many other factors. Take risks, for example - InnovAge Holding has 1 warning sign we think you should be aware of.
