SWOT Analysis for Envictus International Holdings

Because Envictus International Holdings 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. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

In the last 3 years Envictus International Holdings saw its revenue grow at 4.1% per year. Considering the company is losing money, we think that rate of revenue growth is uninspiring. In comparison, the share price rise of 30% per year over the last three years is pretty impressive. Shareholders should be pretty happy with that, although interested investors might want to examine the financial data more closely to see if the gains are really justified. It may be that the market is pretty optimistic about Envictus International Holdings if you look to the bottom line.

That said, we think earnings and revenue growth trends are even more important factors to consider.
