Top three most profitable shares in the past year

Shares of natural gas pipelines manufacturer Condmag Brasov
(COMI) saw by far the highest rise of the last year on the stock
market, by 600%, whilst Condmag’s parent company, Dafora Medias
(DAFR) recorded the second-highest increase, 500%.
Someone who invested 1,000 RON in Condmag shares a year ago,
would have made a 6,000-RON profit, while a 1,000-RON investment in
Dafora would have earned them 5,000 RON. In the same interval, a
bank deposit would have offered an interest rate of no more than
150 RON.
Both companies are controlled by businessman Gheorghe
Calburean in Medias, who can be considered the top winner of the
Stock Exchange rebound recorded in the past year. On the other
hand, the shares of the two companies had lost over 90% from the
end of 2007 until the beginning of March 2009, so for an investor
holding these shares over the last three years, the rise of the
past year meant recovering only a share of previous losses. Real
estate developer Impact Bucuresti (IMP), controlled by businessman
Dan Ioan Popp, saw the third-highest increase in the past year, by
over 480%, after the company had previously lost almost 95% of its
value.
