Yahoo Finance Eguana Technologies (CVE:EGT) delivers shareholders stellar 140% return over 1 year, surging 35% in the last week alone
The most you can lose on any stock (assuming you don't use leverage) is 100% of your money. But when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%. For example, the Eguana Technologies Inc. (CVE:EGT) share price had more than doubled in just one year - up 140%. It's also up 62% in about a month. And shareholders have also done well over the long term, with an increase of 115% in the last three years.
Since it's been a strong week for Eguana Technologies shareholders, let's have a look at trend of the longer term fundamentals.

Because Eguana Technologies made a loss in the last twelve months, we think the market is probably more focussed on revenue and revenue growth, at least for now. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.
In the last year Eguana Technologies saw its revenue shrink by 28%. We're a little surprised to see the share price pop 140% in the last year. It just goes to show the market doesn't always pay attention to the reported numbers. It's quite likely the revenue fall was already priced in, anyway.

A Different Perspective
It's nice to see that Eguana Technologies shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 140% over the last year. That gain is better than the annual TSR over five years, which is 9%. Therefore it seems like sentiment around the company has been positive lately. Someone with an optimistic perspective could view the recent improvement in TSR as indicating that the business itself is getting better with time. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too.
