Carry Wealth Holdings (HKG:643) shareholder returns have been strong, earning 220% in 1 year

When you buy shares in a company, there is always a risk that the price drops to zero. On the other hand, if you find a high quality business to buy (at the right price) you can more than double your money! For example, the Carry Wealth Holdings Limited (HKG:643) share price has soared 220% in the last 1 year. Most would be very happy with that, especially in just one year! Also pleasing for shareholders was the 145% gain in the last three months. However, the longer term returns haven't been so impressive, with the stock up just 29% in the last three years.

After a strong gain in the past week, it's worth seeing if longer term returns have been driven by improving fundamentals.
