While some are satisfied with an index fund, active investors aim to find truly magnificent investments on the stock market. While not every stock performs well, when investors win, they can win big. For example, Nisun International Enterprise Development Group Co., Ltd (NASDAQ:NISN) has generated a beautiful 348% return in just a single year. It's also good to see the share price up 217% over the last quarter. In contrast, the longer term returns are negative, since the share price is 86% lower than it was three years ago.
So let's assess the underlying fundamentals over the last 1 year and see if they've moved in lock-step with shareholder returns.

A Different Perspective
We're pleased to report that Nisun International Enterprise Development Group shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 348% over one year. That certainly beats the loss of about 12% 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. 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. Take risks, for example - Nisun International Enterprise Development Group has 3 warning signs (and 1 which shouldn't be ignored) we think you should know about.
