Does X-Legend Entertainment's (TPE:4994) Share Price Gain of 34% Match Its Business Performance?

Vanguard founder Jack Bogle helped spearhead the low-cost index fund, putting average returns within reach of every investor. But if you pick the right individual stocks, you could make more than that. Notably, the X-Legend Entertainment Co., Ltd. (TPE:4994) share price has gained 34% in three years, which is better than the average market return. In contrast, the stock is actually down 19% in the last year, suggesting a lack of positive momentum.
