The past year for Heska (NASDAQ:HSKA) investors has not been profitable

As every investor would know, you don't hit a homerun every time you swing. But it should be a priority to avoid stomach churning catastrophes, wherever possible. So spare a thought for the long term shareholders of Heska Corporation (NASDAQ:HSKA); the share price is down a whopping 72% in the last twelve months. That'd be a striking reminder about the importance of diversification. However, the longer term returns haven't been so bad, with the stock down 1.1% in the last three years. More recently, the share price has dropped a further 21% in a month. But this could be related to poor market conditions -- stocks are down 11% in the same time.

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.
