Yahoo Finance The Cub Energy (CVE:KUB) Share Price Is Up 260% And Shareholders Are Boasting About It
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%. For instance the Cub Energy Inc. (CVE:KUB) share price is 260% higher than it was three years ago. Most would be happy with that. On the other hand, we note it's down 10.0% in about a month. This could be related to the soft market, with stocks down around 3.5% in the last month.

There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price.
During three years of share price growth, Cub Energy moved from a loss to profitability. That kind of transition can be an inflection point that justifies a strong share price gain, just as we have seen here.
