enCore Energy Corp. (CVE:EU) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 11% in the last week. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last half decade have been spectacular. To be precise, the stock price is 979% higher than it was five years ago, a wonderful performance by any measure. Arguably, the recent fall is to be expected after such a strong rise. The most important thing for savvy investors to consider is whether the underlying business can justify the share price gain. While the long term returns are impressive, we do have some sympathy for those who bought more recently, given the 15% drop, in the last year. We love happy stories like this one. The company should be really proud of that performance!
Since the long term performance has been good but there's been a recent pullback of 11%, let's check if the fundamentals match the share price.
