Shareholders Are Raving About How The POSaBIT Systems (CSE:PBIT) Share Price Increased 793%

While stock picking isn't easy, for those willing to persist and learn, it is possible to buy shares in great companies, and generate wonderful returns. When you buy and hold the right company, the returns can make a huge difference to both you and your family. For example, the POSaBIT Systems Corporation (CSE:PBIT) share price rocketed moonwards 793% in just one year. In more good news, the share price has risen 13% in thirty days. This could be related to the recent financial results that were recently released - you could check the most recent data by reading our company report. POSaBIT Systems hasn't been listed for long, so it's still not clear if it is a long term winner.

Given that POSaBIT Systems 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. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

POSaBIT Systems grew its revenue by 234% last year. That's a head and shoulders above most loss-making companies. But the share price has really rocketed in response gaining 793% as previously mentioned. Despite the strong growth, it's certainly possible the market has gotten a little over-excited. So this looks like a great watchlist candidate for investors who look for high growth inflexion points.

It's probably worth noting we've seen significant insider buying in the last quarter, which we consider a positive. That said, we think earnings and revenue growth trends are even more important factors to consider.

A Different Perspective

It's nice to see that POSaBIT Systems shareholders have gained 793% over the last year. A substantial portion of that gain has come in the last three months, with the stock up 205% in that time. This suggests the company is continuing to win over new investors. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too.
