Because Shenzhen Worldunion Group made a loss in the last twelve months, we think the market is probably more focussed on revenue and revenue growth, at least for now.

It's nice to see that Shenzhen Worldunion Group shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 51% over the last year. Notably the five-year annualised TSR loss of 3% per year compares very unfavourably with the recent share price performance. The long term loss makes us cautious, but the short term TSR gain certainly hints at a brighter future. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term.
