Given that Kraken Robotics 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. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. 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.

In the last 3 years Kraken Robotics saw its revenue grow at 71% per year. That's well above most pre-profit companies. Meanwhile, the share price performance has been pretty solid at 46% compound over three years. But it does seem like the market is paying attention to strong revenue growth. Nonetheless, we'd say Kraken Robotics is still worth investigating - successful businesses can often keep growing for long periods.

A Different Perspective

While the broader market lost about 4.0% in the twelve months, Kraken Robotics shareholders did even worse, losing 11%. However, it could simply be that the share price has been impacted by broader market jitters. It might be worth keeping an eye on the fundamentals, in case there's a good opportunity. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 22% per year over half a decade. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Kraken Robotics better, we need to consider many other factors.
