Recent 19% pullback isn't enough to hurt long-term Yield Go Holdings (HKG:1796) shareholders, they're still up 106% over 1 year

Yield Go Holdings Ltd. (HKG:1796) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 19% in the last week. But that doesn't detract from the splendid returns of the last year. Indeed, the share price is up an impressive 106% in that time. So it is important to view the recent reduction in price through that lense. Investors should be wondering whether the business itself has the fundamental value required to continue to drive gains.

In light of the stock dropping 19% in the past week, we want to investigate the longer term story, and see if fundamentals have been the driver of the company's positive one-year return.
