Recent 14% pullback isn't enough to hurt long-term Touyun Biotech Group (HKG:1332) shareholders, they're still up 46% over 1 year
Touyun Biotech Group Limited (HKG:1332) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 14% in the last week. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last year have been respectable. After all, the stock has performed better than the market's return of (38%) over the last year, and is up 46%.
While the stock has fallen 14% this week, it's worth focusing on the longer term and seeing if the stocks historical returns have been driven by the underlying fundamentals.
Touyun Biotech Group wasn't profitable in the last twelve months, it is unlikely we'll see a strong correlation between its share price and its earnings per share (EPS). Arguably revenue is our next best option. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.
Over the last twelve months, Touyun Biotech Group's revenue grew by 0.3%. That's not great considering the company is losing money. The modest growth is probably largely reflected in the share price, which is up 46%. While not a huge gain tht seems pretty reasonable. It could be worth keeping an eye on this one, especially if growth accelerates.

We generally put more weight on the long term performance over the short term, but the recent improvement could hint at a (positive) inflection point within the business. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Touyun Biotech Group better, we need to consider many other factors.
