Because Kim Forest Enterprise 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. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.

Over the last twelve months, Kim Forest Enterprise's revenue grew by 5.9%. That's not great considering the company is losing money. So the 388% gain in just twelve months is completely unexpected.
