Investors in Thunderbird Entertainment Group (CVE:TBRD) have made a solid return of 131% over the past three years
It hasn't been the best quarter for Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc. (CVE:TBRD) shareholders, since the share price has fallen 12% in that time. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last three years have been very strong. The share price marched upwards over that time, and is now 131% higher than it was. It's not uncommon to see a share price retrace a bit, after a big gain. The thing to consider is whether the underlying business is doing well enough to support the current price.
So let's investigate and see if the longer term performance of the company has been in line with the underlying business' progress.

A Different Perspective
The last twelve months weren't great for Thunderbird Entertainment Group shares, which performed worse than the market, costing holders 35%. Meanwhile, the broader market slid about 0.1%, likely weighing on the stock. Fortunately the longer term story is brighter, with total returns averaging about 32% per year over three years. The recent sell-off could be an opportunity if the business remains sound, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long-term growth trend. 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. Consider risks, for instance. Every company has them, and we've spotted 1 warning sign for Thunderbird Entertainment Group you should know about.
