Yahoo Finance Elixirr International (LON:ELIX) shareholders YoY returns are lagging the company's 267% one-year earnings growth
The Elixirr International plc (LON:ELIX) share price has had a bad week, falling 10%. But that doesn't detract from the splendid returns of the last year. Indeed, the share price is up an impressive 125% in that time. So it is important to view the recent reduction in price through that lense. Only time will tell if there is still too much optimism currently reflected in the share price.
Since the long term performance has been good but there's been a recent pullback of 10%, let's check if the fundamentals match the share price.
