PanAsialum Holdings' (HKG:2078) Shareholders Are Down 15% On Their Shares

This week we saw the PanAsialum Holdings Company Limited (HKG:2078) share price climb by 21%. But in truth the last year hasn't been good for the share price. The cold reality is that the stock has dropped 15% in one year, under-performing the market.

PanAsialum 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. 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.

PanAsialum Holdings grew its revenue by 19% over the last year. That's definitely a respectable growth rate. Unfortunately that wasn't good enough to stop the share price dropping 15%. This implies the market was expecting better growth. But if revenue keeps growing, then at a certain point the share price would likely follow.

A Different Perspective

While PanAsialum Holdings shareholders are down 15% for the year, the market itself is up 12%. While the aim is to do better than that, it's worth recalling that even great long-term investments sometimes underperform for a year or more. Putting aside the last twelve months, it's good to see the share price has rebounded by 6.3%, in the last ninety days. Let's just hope this isn't the widely-feared 'dead cat bounce' (which would indicate further declines to come). I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too.
