Passive investing in index funds can generate returns that roughly match the overall market. But if you pick the right individual stocks, you could make more than that. For example, the YOOZOO Interactive Co., Ltd. (SZSE:002174) share price is up 51% in the last 1 year, clearly besting the market decline of around 5.0% (not including dividends). That's a solid performance by our standards! Zooming out, the stock is actually down 26% in the last three years.

The past week has proven to be lucrative for YOOZOO Interactive investors, so let's see if fundamentals drove the company's one-year performance.

Given that YOOZOO Interactive didn't make a profit in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one does expect good top-line growth.

In the last year YOOZOO Interactive saw its revenue shrink by 21%. Despite the lack of revenue growth, the stock has returned a solid 51% the last twelve months. We can correlate the share price rise with revenue or profit growth, but it seems the market had previously expected weaker results, and sentiment around the stock is improving.

A Different Perspective

We're pleased to report that YOOZOO Interactive shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 51% over one year. Notably the five-year annualised TSR loss of 5% per year compares very unfavourably with the recent share price performance. The long term loss makes us cautious, but the short term TSR gain certainly hints at a brighter future.
