Check out our latest analysis for Accrol Group Holdings

Accrol Group Holdings 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. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

In the last year Accrol Group Holdings saw its revenue grow by 1.2%. That's not great considering the company is losing money. So we wouldn't have expected the share price to rise by 223%. The business will need a lot more growth to justify that increase. It's quite likely that the market is considering other factors, not just revenue growth.
