Shenyang Yuanda Intellectual Industry GroupLtd (SZSE:002689) adds CN¥365m to market cap in the past 7 days, though investors from a year ago are still down 14%

While not a mind-blowing move, it is good to see that the Shenyang Yuanda Intellectual Industry Group Co.,Ltd (SZSE:002689) share price has gained 24% in the last three months. But that doesn't change the reality of under-performance over the last twelve months. After all, the share price is down 14% in the last year, significantly under-performing the market.

Although the past week has been more reassuring for shareholders, they're still in the red over the last year, so let's see if the underlying business has been responsible for the decline.

Given that Shenyang Yuanda Intellectual Industry GroupLtd 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. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. 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.

Shenyang Yuanda Intellectual Industry GroupLtd's revenue didn't grow at all in the last year. In fact, it fell 13%. That looks pretty grim, at a glance. Shareholders have seen the share price drop 14% in that time. That seems pretty reasonable given the lack of both profits and revenue growth. We think most holders must believe revenue growth will improve, or else costs will decline.
