EIH Associated Hotels Limited (NSE:EIHAHOTELS) shareholders should be happy to see the share price up 10% in the last month.

Given that EIH Associated Hotels only made minimal earnings in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue to gauge its business development. Generally speaking, we'd consider a stock like this alongside loss-making companies, simply because the quantum of the profit is so low. It would be hard to believe in a more profitable future without growing revenues.

Over the last three years, EIH Associated Hotels' revenue dropped 8.0% per year. That is not a good result. The stock has disappointed holders over the last three years, falling 10%, annualized. That makes sense given the lack of either profits or revenue growth. Of course, sentiment could become too negative, and the company may actually be making progress to profitability.

A Different Perspective

EIH Associated Hotels shareholders are down 14% for the year, but the market itself is up 11%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 4% per year over half a decade. If the fundamental data continues to indicate long term sustainable growth, the current sell-off could be an opportunity worth considering.
