The Zhong Ji Longevity Science Group (HKG:767) Share Price Has Soared 833%, Delighting Many Shareholders

While Zhong Ji Longevity Science Group Limited (HKG:767) shareholders are probably generally happy, the stock hasn't had particularly good run recently, with the share price falling 13% in the last quarter. But over the last year the share price has taken off like one of Elon Musk's rockets. In that time, shareholders have had the pleasure of a 833% boost to the share price. So it is not that surprising to see the stock retrace a little. Of course, winners often do keep winning, so there may be more gains to come (if the business fundamentals stack up).

We love happy stories like this one. The company should be really proud of that performance!
