Brack Capital Properties (TLV:BCNV-M) shareholders are up 19% this past week, but still in the red over the last year

It is a pleasure to report that the Brack Capital Properties N.V (TLV:BCNV-M) is up 32% in the last quarter. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last year have been less than pleasing. After all, the share price is down 31% in the last year, significantly under-performing the market.

The recent uptick of 19% could be a positive sign of things to come, so let's take a look at historical fundamentals.

Because Brack Capital Properties made a loss in the last twelve months, we think the market is probably more focussed on revenue and revenue growth, at least for now. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

In just one year Brack Capital Properties saw its revenue fall by 13%. That looks pretty grim, at a glance. Shareholders have seen the share price drop 31% in that time. What would you expect when revenue is falling, and it doesn't make a profit? We think most holders must believe revenue growth will improve, or else costs will decline.
