While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational. 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).
We know that Endeavour Mining has been profitable in the past. On the other hand, it reported a trailing twelve months loss, suggesting it isn't reliably profitable. So we might find other metrics can better explain the share price movements.
On the other hand, Endeavour Mining's revenue is growing nicely, at a compound rate of 5.3% over the last five years. It's quite possible that management are prioritizing revenue growth over EPS growth at the moment.

A Different Perspective
While the broader market lost about 0.8% in the twelve months, Endeavour Mining shareholders did even worse, losing 10%. However, it could simply be that the share price has been impacted by broader market jitters. It might be worth keeping an eye on the fundamentals, in case there's a good opportunity. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 21%, each year, over five years. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend.
