Investors might be losing patience for Ybox Real Estate's (TLV:YBOX) increasing losses, as stock sheds 11% over the past week

It hasn't been the best quarter for Ybox Real Estate Ltd. (TLV:YBOX) shareholders, since the share price has fallen 15% in that time. But the silver lining is the stock is up over five years. In that time, it is up 86%, which isn't bad, but is below the market return of 143%.

In light of the stock dropping 11% in the past week, we want to investigate the longer term story, and see if fundamentals have been the driver of the company's positive five-year return.

Ybox Real Estate isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually desire strong revenue growth. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

In the last 5 years Ybox Real Estate saw its revenue shrink by 13% per year. The falling revenue is arguably somewhat reflected in the lacklustre return of 13% per year over that time. Arguably that's not bad given the soft revenue and loss-making position. Of course, a closer look at the bottom line - and any available analyst forecasts - could reveal an opportunity (if they point to future growth).
