Byucksan's (KRX:007210) Stock Price Has Reduced 72% In The Past Five Years

It is doubtless a positive to see that the Byucksan Corporation (KRX:007210) share price has gained some 38% in the last three months. But will that repair the damage for the weary investors who have owned this stock as it declined over half a decade? Probably not. Indeed, the share price is down a whopping 72% in that time. While the recent increase might be a green shoot, we're certainly hesitant to rejoice. The million dollar question is whether the company can justify a long term recovery.
