The worst result, after buying shares in a company (assuming no leverage), would be if you lose all the money you put in. But when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%. One great example is Mangold Fondkommission AB (STO:MANG) which saw its share price drive 297% higher over five years. And in the last week the share price has popped 12%.

Since it's been a strong week for Mangold Fondkommission shareholders, let's have a look at trend of the longer term fundamentals.

Check out our latest analysis for Mangold Fondkommission

Given that Mangold Fondkommission didn't make a profit in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit.

In the last 5 years Mangold Fondkommission saw its revenue grow at 7.5% per year. That's a fairly respectable growth rate. Broadly speaking, this solid progress may well be reflected by the healthy share price gain of 32% per year over five years. Given that the business has made good progress on the top line, it would be worth taking a look at the growth trend. Accelerating growth can be a sign of an inflection point - and could indicate profits lie ahead. Worth watching 100%

What About The Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?

We'd be remiss not to mention the difference between Mangold Fondkommission's total shareholder return (TSR) and its share price return. Arguably the TSR is a more complete return calculation because it accounts for the value of dividends (as if they were reinvested), along with the hypothetical value of any discounted capital that have been offered to shareholders. Dividends have been really beneficial for Mangold Fondkommission shareholders, and that cash payout contributed to why its TSR of 311%, over the last 5 years, is better than the share price return.

A Different Perspective

While the broader market gained around 6.5% in the last year, Mangold Fondkommission shareholders lost 17%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 33% per year over half a decade. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Mangold Fondkommission better, we need to consider many other factors.
