Announcing: Moatech (KOSDAQ:033200) Stock Increased An Energizing 268% In The Last Five Years

The worst result, after buying shares in a company (assuming no leverage), would be if you lose all the money you put in. But on the bright side, you can make far more than 100% on a really good stock. One great example is Moatech Co., Ltd. (KOSDAQ:033200) which saw its share price drive 268% higher over five years. It's also good to see the share price up 74% over the last quarter.

Given that Moatech didn't make a profit in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

Over the last half decade Moatech's revenue has actually been trending down at about 18% per year. On the other hand, the share price done the opposite, gaining 30%, compound, each year.

While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important.
