Raily Aesthetic Medicine International Holdings (HKG:2135) shareholders rose 46% last week, but are still in the red over the past year

Over the past month, the Raily Aesthetic Medicine International Holdings Limited (HKG:2135) was much stronger than before, rebounding 62%. But that doesn’t change the fact that returns over the past year have been less than pleasing. In fact, the price is down 42% in one year, below the returns you could get from investing in an index fund.

On a more encouraging note, the company has added 127 million Canadian yen to its market capitalization in the last 7 days alone, so let’s see if we can determine what caused shareholders to lose a year.

A different perspective

Raily Aesthetic Medicine International Holdings shareholders are down 42% for the year, even worse than the 14% market loss. It’s disappointing, but it’s worth bearing in mind that selling market-wide wouldn’t have helped. It’s great to see a nice little rebound of 13% in the last three months. Let’s just hope this isn’t the widely feared “dead cat bounce” (which would indicate further declines to come). It is always interesting to follow the evolution of the share price over the long term.
