Over the last year G1 Therapeutics shareholders have received a TSR of 19%. Unfortunately this falls short of the market return of around 48%. On the bright side, that's certainly better than the yearly loss of about 16% endured over the last three years, implying that the company is doing better recently. It could well be that the business is stabilizing. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance.
