If you love investing in stocks you're bound to buy some losers. But the long term shareholders of Goldmoney Inc. (TSE:XAU) have had an unfortunate run in the last three years. So they might be feeling emotional about the 65% share price collapse, in that time. And the share price decline continued over the last week, dropping some 7.7%.

Check out our latest analysis for Goldmoney

Because Goldmoney made a loss in the last twelve months, 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. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.

Over three years, Goldmoney grew revenue at 1.7% per year. Given it's losing money in pursuit of growth, we are not really impressed with that. It's likely this weak growth has contributed to an annualised return of 18% for the last three years. It can be well worth keeping an eye on growth stocks that disappoint the market, because sometimes they re-accelerate. After all, growing a business isn't easy, and the process will not always be smooth.

A Different Perspective

We're pleased to report that Goldmoney shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 7.3% over one year. Of course, that includes the dividend. There's no doubt those recent returns are much better than the TSR loss of 7% per year over five years. The long term loss makes us cautious, but the short term TSR gain certainly hints at a brighter future. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Goldmoney better, we need to consider many other factors. Consider risks, for instance.
