Yahoo Finance The 11% return this week takes Crew Energy's (TSE:CR) shareholders one-year gains to 235%
The most you can lose on any stock (assuming you don't use leverage) is 100% of your money. But if you pick the right business to buy shares in, you can make more than you can lose. For example, the Crew Energy Inc. (TSE:CR) share price has soared 235% return in just a single year. Also pleasing for shareholders was the 33% gain in the last three months. This could be related to the recent financial results, released recently - you can catch up on the most recent data by reading our company report. It is also impressive that the stock is up 221% over three years, adding to the sense that it is a real winner.
After a strong gain in the past week, it's worth seeing if longer term returns have been driven by improving fundamentals.

A Different Perspective
It's nice to see that Crew Energy shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 235% over the last year. That certainly beats the loss of about 4% per year over the last half decade. 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 Crew Energy better, we need to consider many other factors. Like risks, for instance.
