What Type Of Returns Would TDH Holdings'(NASDAQ:PETZ) Shareholders Have Earned If They Purchased Their SharesThree Years Ago?

TDH Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PETZ) shareholders should be happy to see the share price up 27% in the last quarter. But the last three years have seen a terrible decline. To wit, the share price sky-dived 71% in that time. So we're relieved for long term holders to see a bit of uplift. The thing to think about is whether the business has really turned around.
