(GTSM:3176) shareholders have seen the share price rise 83% over three years, well in excess of the market return (51%, not including dividends). However, more recent returns haven't been as impressive as that, with the stock returning just 1.8% in the last year.

Medigen Biotechnology wasn't profitable in the last twelve months, it is unlikely we'll see a strong correlation between its share price and its earnings per share (EPS). Arguably revenue is our next best option. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

Over the last three years Medigen Biotechnology has grown its revenue at 13% annually. That's a very respectable growth rate. The share price gain of 22% per year shows that the market is paying attention to this growth. If that's the case, then it could be well worth while to research the growth trajectory. Keep in mind that the strength of the balance sheet impacts the options open to the company.
