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 Ying Li International Real Estate Limited (SGX:5DM) share price has soared 126% in the last 1 year. Most would be very happy with that, especially in just one year! Meanwhile the share price is 115% higher than it was a week ago. In contrast, the longer term returns are negative, since the share price is 45% lower than it was three years ago.

On the back of a solid 7-day performance, let's check what role the company's fundamentals have played in driving long term shareholder returns.

Because Ying Li International Real Estate 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. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually desire strong revenue growth. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

In the last year Ying Li International Real Estate saw its revenue grow by 20%. That's a fairly respectable growth rate. The revenue growth is decent but the share price had an even better year, gaining 126%. If the profitability is on the horizon then now could be a very exciting time to be a shareholder. But investors need to be wary of how the 'fear of missing out' could influence them to buy without doing thorough research.
