ChoA PharmaceuticalLtd isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. 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.

In the last year ChoA PharmaceuticalLtd saw its revenue grow by 4.1%. That's not a very high growth rate considering it doesn't make profits. In keeping with the revenue growth, the share price gained 36% in that time. While not a huge gain tht seems pretty reasonable.

A Different Perspective

ChoA PharmaceuticalLtd provided a TSR of 36% over the year. That's fairly close to the broader market return. That gain looks pretty satisfying, and it is even better than the five-year TSR of 4% per year. Even if the share price growth slows down from here, there's a good chance that this is business worth watching in the long term. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand ChoA PharmaceuticalLtd better, we need to consider many other factors.
