Because ENEFI Energiahatékonysági Nyrt is loss-making, we think the market is probably more focussed on revenue and revenue growth, at least for now. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one does expect good top-line growth.
Over the last half decade ENEFI Energiahatékonysági Nyrt’s revenue has actually been trending down at about 46% per year. On the other hand, the share price done the opposite, gaining 29%, compound, each year. It just goes to show tht the market is forward looking, and it’s not always easy to predict the future based on past trends. Still, this situation makes us a little wary of the stock.
