Looking at this graph, I kind of recall what I read in investment books. Generally, sudden large appreciation in share price for a company in a particular industry is a sign of weakness. This is because for weakly managed companies, a slight increase in profitability of the business can have incredulous results on their year-on-year % profit increment, compared to those of a well-managed company.
Hmmm… so beware of extraordinarily high year on year growth! We should pay more attention to the company’s profit margin which acts as a reliable buffer in lean times!
