ISE Commerce (KOSDAQ:069920) Share Prices Have Dropped 51% In The Last Five Years

Generally speaking long term investing is the way to go. But no-one is immune from buying too high. To wit, the ISE Commerce Company Limited (KOSDAQ:069920) share price managed to fall 51% over five long years. That is extremely sub-optimal, to say the least. On the other hand the share price has bounced 6.7% over the last week.

Given that ISE Commerce 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. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.

In the last five years ISE Commerce saw its revenue shrink by 12% per year. That puts it in an unattractive cohort, to put it mildly. It seems appropriate, then, that the share price slid about 9% annually during that time. We don't generally like to own companies that lose money and don't grow revenues. You might be better off spending your money on a leisure activity. You'd want to research this company pretty thoroughly before buying, it looks a bit too risky for us.

A Different Perspective

While the broader market gained around 27% in the last year, ISE Commerce shareholders lost 5.9%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. Unfortunately, longer term shareholders are suffering worse, given the loss of 9% doled out over the last five years. We'd need to see some sustained improvements in the key metrics before we could muster much enthusiasm. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand ISE Commerce better, we need to consider many other factors. Even so, be aware that ISE Commerce is showing 3 warning signs in our investment analysis , and 2 of those are a bit concerning...
