Yahoo Finance Shareholders in Artisanal Spirits (LON:ART) are in the red if they invested a year ago
While not a mind-blowing move, it is good to see that the The Artisanal Spirits Company plc (LON:ART) share price has gained 21% in the last three months.

With that in mind, it's worth seeing if the company's underlying fundamentals have been the driver of long term performance, or if there are some discrepancies.
