GEN-S POWER GroupLtd (SHSE:600753 shareholders incur further losses as stock declines 15% this week, taking three-year losses to 60%

While not a mind-blowing move, it is good to see that the GEN-S POWER Group Co.,Ltd (SHSE:600753) share price has gained 17% in the last three months. But over the last three years we've seen a quite serious decline. In that time, the share price dropped 60%. So it is really good to see an improvement. After all, could be that the fall was overdone.

Given the past week has been tough on shareholders, let's investigate the fundamentals and see what we can learn.

Because GEN-S POWER GroupLtd 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. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally hope to see good revenue growth. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

In the last three years GEN-S POWER GroupLtd saw its revenue shrink by 37% per year. That means its revenue trend is very weak compared to other loss making companies. Arguably, the market has responded appropriately to this business performance by sending the share price down 17% (annualized) in the same time period. When revenue is dropping, and losses are still costing, and the share price sinking fast, it's fair to ask if something is remiss. After losing money on a declining business with falling stock price, we always consider whether eager bagholders are still offering us a reasonable exit price.

A Different Perspective

GEN-S POWER GroupLtd shareholders are down 36% for the year, but the market itself is up 12%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. Regrettably, last year's performance caps off a bad run, with the shareholders facing a total loss of 5% per year over five years. Generally speaking long term share price weakness can be a bad sign, though contrarian investors might want to research the stock in hope of a turnaround. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important.
