Introducing Yieh Hsing Enterprise (TPE:2007), The Stock That Zoomed 113% In The Last Year

The most you can lose on any stock (assuming you don't use leverage) is 100% of your money. But if you pick the right stock, you can make a lot more than 100%. Take, for example Yieh Hsing Enterprise Co., Ltd. (TPE:2007). Its share price is already up an impressive 113% in the last twelve months. Also pleasing for shareholders was the 22% gain in the last three months. But this move may well have been assisted by the reasonably buoyant market (up 18% in 90 days). Also impressive, the stock is up 58% over three years, making long term shareholders happy, too.

That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.

In the last year Yieh Hsing Enterprise saw its revenue shrink by 23%. We're a little surprised to see the share price pop 113% in the last year. It just goes to show the market doesn't always pay attention to the reported numbers. Of course, it could be that the market expected this revenue drop.
