Can You Imagine How Elated High Tide's (CVE:HITI) Shareholders Feel About Its 315% Share Price Gain?
While High Tide Inc. (CVE:HITI) shareholders are probably generally happy, the stock hasn't had particularly good run recently, with the share price falling 22% in the last quarter. But over the last year the share price has taken off like one of Elon Musk's rockets. Indeed, the share price is up a whopping 315% in that time. So it is not that surprising to see the stock retrace a little. The real question is whether the fundamental business performance can justify the strong increase over the long term.

Because High Tide 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. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.
Over the last twelve months, High Tide's revenue grew by 168%. That's stonking growth even when compared to other loss-making stocks. But the share price seems headed to the moon, up 315% as previously highlighted. Even the most bullish shareholders might be thinking that the share price might drop back a bit, after a gain like that. But if the share price does moderate a bit, there might be an opportunity for high growth investors.

A Different Perspective
High Tide boasts a total shareholder return of 315% for the last year. We regret to report that the share price is down 22% over ninety days. It may simply be that the share price got ahead of itself, although there may have been fundamental developments that are weighing on it. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand High Tide better, we need to consider many other factors.
