Given that GoGold Resources didn't make a profit in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit.

GoGold Resources' revenue trended up 26% each year over three years. That's much better than most loss-making companies. And it's not just the revenue that is taking off. The share price is up 62% per year in that time. It's always tempting to take profits after a share price gain like that, but high-growth companies like GoGold Resources can sometimes sustain strong growth for many years. In fact, it might be time to put it on your watchlist, if you're not already familiar with the stock.
