LRAD (NASDAQ:LRAD) Shareholders Booked A 63% Gain In The Last Three Years
It might be of some concern to shareholders to see the LRAD Corporation (NASDAQ:LRAD) share price down 13% in the last month. But that shouldn't obscure the pleasing returns achieved by shareholders over the last three years. To wit, the share price did better than an index fund, climbing 63% during that period.
Check out our latest analysis for LRAD
Given that LRAD only made minimal earnings in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue to gauge its business development. As a general rule, we think this kind of company is more comparable to loss-making stocks, since the actual profit is so low. For shareholders to have confidence a company will grow profits significantly, it must grow revenue.
Over the last three years LRAD has grown its revenue at 26% annually. That's much better than most loss-making companies. The share price rise of 18% per year throughout that time is nice to see, and given the revenue growth, that gain seems somewhat justified. If that's the case, now might be the time to take a close look at LRAD. If the company is trending towards profitability then it could be very interesting.

A Different Perspective
We're pleased to report that LRAD shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 4.6% over one year. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 2.9% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. In the best case scenario, this may hint at some real business momentum, implying that now could be a great time to delve deeper.
