Global Bioenergies (EPA:ALGBE) Shareholders Have Enjoyed An Impressive 187% Share Price Gain

Global Bioenergies SA (EPA:ALGBE) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 11% in the last month. But that doesn't detract from the splendid returns of the last year.

Investors should be wondering whether the business itself has the fundamental value required to continue to drive gains.

Given that Global Bioenergies 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.

Over the last twelve months, Global Bioenergies' revenue grew by 2,696%. That's a head and shoulders above most loss-making companies. And the share price has responded, gaining 187% as we previously mentioned. That sort of revenue growth is bound to attract attention, even if the company doesn't turn a profit.
