National Research's (NASDAQ:NRC) investors will be pleased with their 28% return over the last year

Passive investing in index funds can generate returns that roughly match the overall market. But one can do better than that by picking better than average stocks (as part of a diversified portfolio). To wit, the National Research Corporation (NASDAQ:NRC) share price is 26% higher than it was a year ago, much better than the market return of around 6.0% (not including dividends) in the same period. That's a solid performance by our standards! In contrast, the longer term returns are negative, since the share price is 26% lower than it was three years ago.

So let's investigate and see if the longer term performance of the company has been in line with the underlying business' progress.
