If You Had Bought Imperium Group Global Holdings (HKG:776) Stock A Year Ago, You Could Pocket A 284% Gain Today
Unless you borrow money to invest, the potential losses are limited. But if you pick the right business to buy shares in, you can make more than you can lose. For example, the Imperium Group Global Holdings Limited (HKG:776) share price had more than doubled in just one year - up 284%. Also pleasing for shareholders was the 39% gain in the last three months. However, the longer term returns haven't been so impressive, with the stock up just 11% in the last three years.
View our latest analysis for Imperium Group Global Holdings
Because Imperium Group Global Holdings 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. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.
Imperium Group Global Holdings actually shrunk its revenue over the last year, with a reduction of 21%. We're a little surprised to see the share price pop 284% in the last year. This is a good example of how buyers can push up prices even before the fundamental metrics show much growth. Of course, it could be that the market expected this revenue drop.

A Different Perspective
It's good to see that Imperium Group Global Holdings has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 284% in the last twelve months. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 9% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. Given the share price momentum remains strong, it might be worth taking a closer look at the stock, lest you miss an opportunity. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too.
