The HYUNDAI FEED (KOSDAQ:016790) Share Price Has Gained 14% And Shareholders Are Hoping For More

We don't think that HYUNDAI FEED's modest trailing twelve month profit has the market's full attention at the moment. We think revenue is probably a better guide. Generally speaking, we'd consider a stock like this alongside loss-making companies, simply because the quantum of the profit is so low. For shareholders to have confidence a company will grow profits significantly, it must grow revenue.

HYUNDAI FEED actually shrunk its revenue over the last year, with a reduction of 5.2%. Given the revenue reduction the modest 14% share price rise over the year seems pretty decent. Generally we're pretty unenthusiastic about loss making stocks that are not growing revenue.

A Different Perspective

We're happy to report that HYUNDAI FEED are up 15% over the year. The bad news is that's no better than the average market return, which was roughly 42%. The last three months haven't been great for shareholder returns, since the share price has trailed the market by 28% in the last three months. It might be that investors are more concerned about the business lately due to some fundamental change (or else the share price simply got ahead of itself, previously). 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.
