Swelling losses haven't held back gains for Jeen AI Technologies (TLV:JEEN) shareholders since they're up 135% over 1 year

Jeen AI Technologies Ltd (TLV:JEEN) shareholders have seen the share price descend 14% over the month. Despite this, the stock is a strong performer over the last year, no doubt about that. Indeed, the share price is up an impressive 135% in that time. So it may be that the share price is simply cooling off after a strong rise. More important, going forward, is how the business itself is going.

Since the long term performance has been good but there's been a recent pullback of 12%, let's check if the fundamentals match the share price.

Because Jeen AI Technologies 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. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.

In the last year Jeen AI Technologies saw its revenue grow by 93%. That's stonking growth even when compared to other loss-making stocks. Meanwhile, the market has paid attention, sending the share price soaring 135% in response. That sort of revenue growth is bound to attract attention, even if the company doesn't turn a profit. Given the positive sentiment around the stock we're cautious, but there's no doubt its worth watching.

It's probably worth noting that the CEO is paid less than the median at similar sized companies. It's always worth keeping an eye on CEO pay, but a more important question is whether the company will grow earnings throughout the years.

A Different Perspective

It's good to see that Jeen AI Technologies has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 135% in the last twelve months. Notably the five-year annualised TSR loss of 5% per year compares very unfavourably with the recent share price performance. We generally put more weight on the long term performance over the short term, but the recent improvement could hint at a (positive) inflection point within the business. 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. Take risks, for example - Jeen AI Technologies has 5 warning signs (and 3 which are significant) we think you should know about.
