Fantagio's(KOSDAQ:032800) Share Price Is Down 62% Over The Past Five Years.

We think intelligent long term investing is the way to go. But no-one is immune from buying too high. To wit, the Fantagio Corp. (KOSDAQ:032800) share price managed to fall 62% over five long years. That is extremely sub-optimal, to say the least. Furthermore, it's down 20% in about a quarter. That's not much fun for holders. This could be related to the recent financial results - you can catch up on the most recent data by reading our company report.

Check out our latest analysis for Fantagio

Fantagio isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

Over half a decade Fantagio reduced its trailing twelve month revenue by 1.0% for each year. While far from catastrophic that is not good. With neither profit nor revenue growth, the loss of 10% per year doesn't really surprise us. The chance of imminent investor enthusiasm for this stock seems slimmer than Louise Brooks. Not that many investors like to invest in companies that are losing money and not growing revenue.

A Different Perspective

Fantagio shareholders gained a total return of 36% during the year. But that was short of the market average. On the bright side, that's still a gain, and it is certainly better than the yearly loss of about 10% endured over half a decade. It could well be that the business is stabilizing. 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.
