Tobii (STO:TOBII) delivers shareholders strong 197% return over 1 year, surging 17% in the last week alone
The most you can lose on any stock (assuming you don't use leverage) is 100% of your money. But if you pick the right stock, you can make a lot more than 100%. Take, for example Tobii AB (publ) (STO:TOBII). Its share price is already up an impressive 197% in the last twelve months. Better yet, the share price has gained 238% in the last quarter. In contrast, the longer term returns are negative, since the share price is 72% lower than it was three years ago.
Since the stock has added kr233m to its market cap in the past week alone, let's see if underlying performance has been driving long-term returns.
Tobii isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally hope 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.
Tobii grew its revenue by 19% last year. We respect that sort of growth, no doubt. The revenue growth is decent but the share price had an even better year, gaining 197%. If the profitability is on the horizon then now could be a very exciting time to be a shareholder. 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
It's nice to see that Tobii shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 197% over the last year. There's no doubt those recent returns are much better than the TSR loss of 9% per year over five years. This makes us a little wary, but the business might have turned around its fortunes. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. Consider for instance, the ever-present spectre of investment risk.
