It's not a surprising move, but Tencent Music Entertainment Group (NYSE:TME) stock has increased 24% in the past three months. But that's a small price to pay for his three years of infuriating gains. Sadly, the stock price has fallen 60% in that time. So it's really good to see improvements. Perhaps the company has changed its mind.
Next, let's look at the company's fundamentals to see if long-term shareholder returns are in line with the performance of the underlying business.

In Buffett's words, “Ships will sail around the world, but a flat-Earth society will thrive.'' There will continue to be a wide discrepancy between prices and values in the marketplace. ..'' 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 three unfortunate years of a share price decline, Tencent Music Entertainment Group actually grew its earnings per share (EPS) by 8.0% per year. This is very puzzling and suggests that there may be something temporarily pushing up the stock price. Alternatively, the company was overhyped in the past and its growth disappointed.
Since changes in EPS don't seem to correlate with changes in share price, it's worth looking at other metrics.
With earnings flat for three years, it's unlikely that the share price reflects sales. There appears to be no clear correlation between fundamental business metrics and the stock price. That may mean the stock was previously overvalued, or it may present an opportunity now.
