Chengdu CORPRO Technology Co., Ltd. (SZSE:300101) shareholders should be pleased to see the share price up 12% over the past week.

However, it is also possible that the stock price is simply being affected by broader market fluctuations. It might be worth looking at the basics in case a good opportunity presents itself. Long-term investors won't be too upset since they would have made a 7% return each year over five years. The recent selloff could be an opportunity, so it might be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long-term growth trend.
