The Jubilee Metals Group (LON:JLP) Share Price Is Up 91% And Shareholders Are Holding On

In this article:

Generally speaking the aim of active stock picking is to find companies that provide returns that are superior to the market average. And while active stock picking involves risks (and requires diversification) it can also provide excess returns. For example, long term Jubilee Metals Group PLC (LON:JLP) shareholders have enjoyed a 91% share price rise over the last half decade, well in excess of the market return of around 6.3% (not including dividends). However, more recent returns haven't been as impressive as that, with the stock returning just 10% in the last year.

Given that Jubilee Metals Group didn't make a profit in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

In the last 5 years Jubilee Metals Group saw its revenue grow at 51% per year. Even measured against other revenue-focussed companies, that's a good result. It's good to see that the stock has 14%, but not entirely surprising given revenue shows strong growth. If the strong revenue growth continues, we'd expect the share price to follow, in time. Of course, you'll have to research the business more fully to figure out if this is an attractive opportunity.

A Different Perspective

It's good to see that Jubilee Metals Group has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 10% in the last twelve months.
