Because Swedish Stirling 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. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

In the last year Swedish Stirling saw its revenue grow by 18%. We respect that sort of growth, no doubt. The revenue growth is decent but the share price had an even better year, gaining 161%. Given that the business has made good progress on the top line, it would be worth taking a look at its path to profitability. But investors need to be wary of how the 'fear of missing out' could influence them to buy without doing thorough research.

A Different Perspective

Pleasingly, Swedish Stirling's total shareholder return last year was 161%. So this year's TSR was actually better than the three-year TSR (annualized) of 35%. These improved returns may hint at some real business momentum, implying that now could be a great time to delve deeper. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. Like risks, for instance.
