Did Business Growth Power FrtekLtd's (KOSDAQ:073540) Share Price Gain of 115%?
It might seem bad, but the worst that can happen when you buy a stock (without leverage) is that its share price goes to zero. But when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%. To wit, the Frtek Co.Ltd. (KOSDAQ:073540) share price has flown 115% in the last three years. That sort of return is as solid as granite. Meanwhile the share price is 4.9% higher than it was a week ago.

Given that FrtekLtd 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. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one does expect good top-line growth.
FrtekLtd actually saw its revenue drop by 1.2% per year over three years. So we wouldn't have expected the share price to gain 29% per year, but it has. It's fair to say shareholders are definitely counting on a bright future.

A Different Perspective
FrtekLtd provided a TSR of 26% over the last twelve months. Unfortunately this falls short of the market return. The silver lining is that the gain was actually better than the average annual return of 14% per year over five year. This could indicate that the company is winning over new investors, as it pursues its strategy. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand FrtekLtd better, we need to consider many other factors.
