Investors in Bragg Gaming Group (TSE:BRAG) have made a solid return of 153% over the past three years

While Bragg Gaming Group Inc. (TSE:BRAG) shareholders are probably generally happy, the stock hasn't had particularly good run recently, with the share price falling 14% in the last quarter. But that doesn't undermine the rather lovely longer-term return, if you measure over the last three years. In fact, the share price is up a full 153% compared to three years ago. After a run like that some may not be surprised to see prices moderate. The thing to consider is whether the underlying business is doing well enough to support the current price.

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.

Regrettably, last year's performance caps off a bad run, with the shareholders facing a total loss of 11% per year over five years.
