On top of that, the share price is up 58% in about a quarter. This could be related to the recent financial results, released recently - you can catch up on the most recent data by reading our company report.

Integrum isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. 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.

Integrum grew its revenue by 66% last year. That's well above most other pre-profit companies. But the share price seems headed to the moon, up 873% as previously highlighted. Even the most bullish shareholders might be thinking that the share price might drop back a bit, after a gain like that. So this looks like a great watchlist candidate for investors who look for high growth inflexion points.
