Update: Endúr (OB:ENDUR) Stock Gained 31% In The Last Year

Endúr ASA (OB:ENDUR) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 16% in the last month. While that might be a setback, it doesn't negate the nice returns received over the last twelve months. In that time we've seen the stock easily surpass the market return, with a gain of 31%.

Because Endúr made a loss in the last twelve months, we think the market is probably more focussed on revenue and revenue growth, at least for now. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit.

In the last year Endúr saw its revenue grow by 61%. That's a head and shoulders above most loss-making companies. The solid 31% share price gain goes down pretty well, but it's not necessarily as good as you might expect given the top notch revenue growth. If that's the case, now might be the time to take a close look at Endúr. Human beings have trouble conceptualizing (and valuing) exponential growth. Is that what we're seeing here?
