Jye Tai Precision Industrial Co., Ltd. (TPE:6165) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 23% in the last month.

While Jye Tai Precision Industrial made a small profit, in the last year, we think that the market is probably more focussed on the top line growth at the moment. As a general rule, we think this kind of company is more comparable to loss-making stocks, since the actual profit is so low. It would be hard to believe in a more profitable future without growing revenues.

Over the last half decade Jye Tai Precision Industrial's revenue has actually been trending down at about 34% per year. So it's pretty surprising to see that the share price is up 36% per year. There can be no doubt this kind of decoupling of revenue growth and share price growth is unusual to see in loss making companies. At the risk of upsetting holders, this does suggest that hope for a better future is playing a significant role in the share price action.
