Those who invested in Metro Mining (ASX:MMI) a year ago are up 200%
The most you can lose on any stock (assuming you don't use leverage) is 100% of your money. But if you pick the right stock, you can make a lot more than 100%. For example, the Metro Mining Limited (ASX:MMI) share price has soared 200% return in just a single year. Also pleasing for shareholders was the 29% gain in the last three months. It is also impressive that the stock is up 120% over three years, adding to the sense that it is a real winner.
Now it's worth having a look at the company's fundamentals too, because that will help us determine if the long term shareholder return has matched the performance of the underlying business.
Check out our latest analysis for Metro Mining
Given that Metro Mining 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. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally hope to see good revenue growth. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.
Over the last twelve months, Metro Mining's revenue grew by 44%. That's a fairly respectable growth rate. The revenue growth is decent but the share price had an even better year, gaining 200%. If the profitability is on the horizon then now could be a very exciting time to be a shareholder. Of course, we are always cautious about succumbing to 'fear of missing out' when a stock has shot up strongly.

We're pleased to report that Metro Mining shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 200% over one year. There's no doubt those recent returns are much better than the TSR loss of 7% per year over five years. 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. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Metro Mining better, we need to consider many other factors. To that end, you should learn about the 2 warning signs we've spotted with Metro Mining (including 1 which makes us a bit uncomfortable) .

BP Marsh offloads Sterling to Australia's ATC Insurance
BP Marsh, the UK-based specialist investor, has divested its approximately 20% stake in Sterling Insurance to ATC Insurance Solutions, an Australian underwriting agency in which BP Marsh already has a 25% holding. The transaction saw ATC acquire 100% of Sterling's issued share capital for a total consideration of A$33.2m, through a combination of cash and equity. BP Marsh's portion of the deal, corresponding to its 20% interest in Sterling, will be settled via equity in ATC valued at around A$6.5m. This increases BP Marsh's stake in ATC from 25% to 27%. BP Marsh initially invested approximately £1.9m in Sterling in 2013. The investment generated an internal rate of return of 8.8% over a 12-year period. The firm expects further value growth through its increased holding in ATC. As part of the transaction, Dan Topping has stepped down from his position as nominee director on Sterling's board, while retaining his board role at ATC. BP Marsh stated that the transaction is aimed at facilitating a combination of its two investee companies, allowing Sterling's senior management to roll equity into ATC and providing liquidity to long-term shareholders of Sterling. ATC chairman and managing director Chris Anderson stated: "Sterling is highly respected within its sector, with a strong focus on niche, hard-to-place and complex risks. We are thrilled to welcome Sterling to the ATC family and look forward to working closely with their team as we continue to grow together." Sterling Chairman Tony Parington said: "We are excited to be joining forces with ATC and look forward to contributing to the success of the combined business. "Our partnership with BP Marsh since 2013 has been productive, and we are pleased that this relationship will continue as part of ATC."
