The Blockchain Group (EPA:ALTBG) Share Price Has Soared 530%, Delighting Many Shareholders

It's been a soft week for The Blockchain Group (EPA:ALTBG) shares, which are down 12%. But that cannot eclipse the spectacular share price rise we've seen over the last twelve months. In fact, it is up 530% in that time. So we wouldn't blame sellers for taking some profits. Only time will tell if there is still too much optimism currently reflected in the share price.

It really delights us to see such great share price performance for investors.

We don't think that Blockchain Group's modest trailing twelve month profit has the market's full attention at the moment. We think revenue is probably a better guide. As a general rule, we think this kind of company is more comparable to loss-making stocks, since the actual profit is so low. It would be hard to believe in a more profitable future without growing revenues.

In the last year Blockchain Group saw its revenue grow by 75%. That's a head and shoulders above most loss-making companies. But the share price has really rocketed in response gaining 530% as previously mentioned. Even the most bullish shareholders might be thinking that the share price might drop back a bit, after a gain like that. But if the share price does moderate a bit, there might be an opportunity for high growth investors.

A Different Perspective

It's good to see that Blockchain Group has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 530% in the last twelve months. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 14% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. Given the share price momentum remains strong, it might be worth taking a closer look at the stock, lest you miss an opportunity. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Blockchain Group better, we need to consider many other factors.
