Skylight Health Group (CVE:SLHG) shareholders are still up 296% over 1 year despite pulling back 12% in the past week

It hasn't been the best quarter for Skylight Health Group Inc. (CVE:SLHG) shareholders, since the share price has fallen 24% in that time. On the other hand, over the last twelve months the stock has delivered rather impressive returns. We're very pleased to report the share price shot up 296% in that time. So it may be that the share price is simply cooling off after a strong rise. The real question is whether the business is trending in the right direction.

In light of the stock dropping 12% in the past week, we want to investigate the longer term story, and see if fundamentals have been the driver of the company's positive one-year return.

Because Skylight Health Group 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. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

Skylight Health Group grew its revenue by 59% last year. That's stonking growth even when compared to other loss-making stocks. And the share price has responded, gaining 296% as we previously mentioned. It's great to see strong revenue growth, but the question is whether it can be sustained. Given the positive sentiment around the stock we're cautious, but there's no doubt its worth watching.
