Can You Imagine How Jubilant Orient Precision Industries' (KOSDAQ:065500) Shareholders Feel About Its 270% Share Price Gain?

It might be of some concern to shareholders to see the Orient Precision Industries Inc (KOSDAQ:065500) share price down 18% in the last month. Despite this, the stock is a strong performer over the last year, no doubt about that. During that period, the share price soared a full 270%. So we think most shareholders won't be too upset about the recent fall. Investors should be wondering whether the business itself has the fundamental value required to continue to drive gains.

Because Orient Precision Industries 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. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong 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.

In the last year Orient Precision Industries saw its revenue shrink by 14%. So we would not have expected the share price to rise 270%. It just goes to show the market doesn't always pay attention to the reported numbers. It's quite likely the revenue fall was already priced in, anyway.
