Median Technologies isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.

In the last 3 years Median Technologies saw its revenue grow at 36% per year. That's well above most pre-profit companies. And it's not just the revenue that is taking off. The share price is up 120% per year in that time. Despite the strong run, top performers like Median Technologies have been known to go on winning for decades.
