Announcing: G Capital Berhad (KLSE:GCAP) Stock Increased An Energizing 112% In The Last Year

G Capital Berhad (KLSE:GCAP) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 12% in the last quarter. But that doesn't detract from the splendid returns of the last year. Indeed, the share price is up an impressive 112% in that time. So we think most shareholders won't be too upset about the recent fall. Only time will tell if there is still too much optimism currently reflected in the share price.

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

In the last year G Capital Berhad saw its revenue shrink by 32%. So we would not have expected the share price to rise 112%. It just goes to show the market doesn't always pay attention to the reported numbers. It's quite likely the revenue fall was already priced in, anyway.
