Hyulim ROBOTLtd (KOSDAQ:090710) adds ₩15b to market cap in the past 7 days, though investors from a year ago are still down 56%

This week we saw the Hyulim ROBOT Co.,Ltd. (KOSDAQ:090710) share price climb by 10%. But that isn't much consolation to those who have suffered through the declines of the last year. Like an arid lake in a warming world, shareholder value has evaporated, with the share price down 56% in that time. The share price recovery is not so impressive when you consider the fall. It may be that the fall was an overreaction.

While the stock has risen 10% in the past week but long term shareholders are still in the red, let's see what the fundamentals can tell us.

Because Hyulim ROBOTLtd 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 desire 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 Hyulim ROBOTLtd saw its revenue grow by 36%. That's definitely a respectable growth rate. Unfortunately it seems investors wanted more, because the share price is down 56% in that time. It may well be that the business remains approximately on track, but its revenue growth has simply been delayed. To our minds it isn't enough to just look at revenue, anyway. Always consider when profits will flow.

A Different Perspective

We regret to report that Hyulim ROBOTLtd shareholders are down 56% for the year. Unfortunately, that's worse than the broader market decline of 11%. However, it could simply be that the share price has been impacted by broader market jitters. It might be worth keeping an eye on the fundamentals, in case there's a good opportunity. Unfortunately, last year's performance may indicate unresolved challenges, given that it was worse than the annualised loss of 8% over the last half decade. We realise that Baron Rothschild has said investors should "buy when there is blood on the streets", but we caution that investors should first be sure they are buying a high quality business. 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. Consider for instance, the ever-present spectre of investment risk.
