By buying an index fund, investors can approximate the average market return. But if you pick the right individual stocks, you could make more than that. For example, the Beijing Jetsen Technology Co., Ltd (SZSE:300182) share price is up 35% in the last three years, clearly besting the market decline of around 23% (not including dividends). On the other hand, the returns haven't been quite so good recently, with shareholders up just 15%.

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.

During three years of share price growth, Beijing Jetsen Technology moved from a loss to profitability. That would generally be considered a positive, so we'd expect the share price to be up.

A Different Perspective

It's nice to see that Beijing Jetsen Technology shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 15% over the last year. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 5% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. In the best case scenario, this may hint at some real business momentum, implying that now could be a great time to delve deeper. 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.
