The most you can lose on any stock (assuming you don’t use leverage) is 100% of your money. But on the bright side, you can make far more than 100% on a really good stock. One great example is Partners Value Investments LP (CVE:PVF.UN) which saw its share price drive 109% higher over five years. And in the last month, the share price has gained 14%. This could be related to the recent financial results that were recently released – you could check the most recent data by reading our company report.
Let’s take a look at the underlying fundamentals over the longer term, and see if they’ve been consistent with shareholders returns.

We don’t think that Partners Value Investments’ modest trailing twelve month profit has the market’s full attention at the moment. We think revenue is probably a better guide. As a general rule, we think this kind of company is more comparable to loss-making stocks, since the actual profit is so low. It would be hard to believe in a more profitable future without growing revenues.
In the last 5 years Partners Value Investments saw its revenue grow at 50% per year. Even measured against other revenue-focussed companies, that’s a good result. Meanwhile, its share price performance certainly reflects the strong growth, given the share price grew at 16% per year, compound, during the period. This suggests the market has well and truly recognized the progress the business has made. Partners Value Investments seems like a high growth stock – so growth investors might want to add it to their watchlist.

A Different Perspective
It’s nice to see that Partners Value Investments shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 31% over the last year. That gain is better than the annual TSR over five years, which is 16%. Therefore it seems like sentiment around the company has been positive lately. Given the share price momentum remains strong, it might be worth taking a closer look at the stock, lest you miss an opportunity. 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.
