Can You Imagine How Elated Datametrex AI's (CVE:DM) Shareholders Feel About Its 860% Share Price Gain?

Datametrex AI Limited (CVE:DM) shareholders have seen the share price descend 14% over the month. But that isn't a problem when you consider how the share price has soared over the last year. Indeed, the share price is up a whopping 860% in that time. Arguably, the recent fall is to be expected after such a strong rise. While winners often keep winning, it can pay to be cautious after a strong rise.

Anyone who held for that rewarding ride would probably be keen to talk about it.

Datametrex AI isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

Datametrex AI grew its revenue by 190% last year. That's a head and shoulders above most loss-making companies. But the share price seems headed to the moon, up 860% 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.
