Industrial Investment Trust Shares Gain 262% Over Five Years

Several companies have shown varying investment performances over the last five years despite differing market sentiments and earnings trends. Industrial Investment Trust Limited's stock rose 262% over five years, with profitability marking a turning point, although it faced a 34% decline this year amid broader market downturns. IOI Corporation Berhad’s share price fell 12% despite a 21% annual EPS growth, suggesting market expectations were not met despite improved earnings.
