Shares of Hennessy Advisors rose after the company reported higher annual profit and revenue due to positive returns.
The company's stock rose 8% to $13.20 in after-hours trading Wednesday. For the year, shares are up almost 82%.
The publicly traded investment manager posted an annual profit of $7.1 million, or 92 cents per share, up 49% from $4.77 million, or 63 cents per share, a year ago.
Revenue rose 23% to $29.6 million from $24 million a year earlier, driven by positive returns and execution of the business model.

Hennessy Advisors also purchased management assets of $72 million in mutual funds, $549 million in net new assets, and benefited from nearly $1 billion in market appreciation.
"Our fiscal year results reflect both the strength of our consistent strategy and the dedication of our talented team, whose focused efforts have driven the success of Hennessy Advisors for over 35 years," said President and Chief Operating Officer Teresa Nilsen.
