Should EirGenix (GTSM:6589) Be Disappointed With Their 73% Profit?

Some EirGenix Inc. (GTSM:6589) shareholders are probably rather concerned to see the share price fall 31% over the last three months. But that shouldn't obscure the pleasing returns achieved by shareholders over the last three years. To wit, the share price did better than an index fund, climbing 73% during that period.

Because EirGenix 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. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one does expect good top-line growth.

In the last 3 years EirGenix saw its revenue grow at 41% per year. That's well above most pre-profit companies. While the compound gain of 20% per year over three years is pretty good, you might argue it doesn't fully reflect the strong revenue growth. So now might be the perfect time to put EirGenix on your radar. If the company is trending towards profitability then it could be very interesting.
