Best 1-year price return
Companies with the strongest trailing one-year price return (delayed daily-close data from market data). Past return is not a forecast — it is a backward-looking figure shown with its as-of date. A genuinely high but real return is shown at its true value; only readings our own daily price history contradicts — a reverse-split step, a near-zero base tick, or a figure that disagrees with the actual price series — are excluded as data artifacts.
11 covered companies were left out of this ranking because their last price predates 2026-10-28 (BRR, CBC, DOMO, ECHO, FJET, GLXY, NATH, PAAI, RAL, TOI, WEAV), more than 3 trading sessions behind the 2026-11-03 price the rest of the catalog carries. Every figure here is price-derived, so ranking a stale price beside a current one would order them wrongly. Those companies keep the price on their own page, with their own as-of date.
