Dubber isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.

Over the last three years Dubber has grown its revenue at 70% annually. That's much better than most loss-making companies. In light of this attractive revenue growth, it seems somewhat appropriate that the share price has been rocketing, boasting a gain of 68% per year, over the same period. Despite the strong run, top performers like Dubber have been known to go on winning for decades. In fact, it might be time to put it on your watchlist, if you're not already familiar with the stock.
