A Look At TAT Technologies' (NASDAQ:TATT) Share Price Returns

It is a pleasure to report that the TAT Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:TATT) is up 37% in the last quarter. But that cannot eclipse the less-than-impressive returns over the last three years. Truth be told the share price declined 40% in three years and that return, Dear Reader, falls short of what you could have got from passive investing with an index fund.

Given that TAT Technologies didn't make a profit in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development. 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.

In the last three years TAT Technologies saw its revenue shrink by 3.3% per year. That's not what investors generally want to see. The annual decline of 12% per year in that period has clearly disappointed holders. And with no profits, and weak revenue, are you surprised? However, in this kind of situation you can sometimes find opportunity, where sentiment is negative but the company is actually making good progress.

A Different Perspective

On the bright side, that's still a gain, and it is certainly better than the yearly loss of about 2% endured over half a decade. It could well be that the business is stabilizing. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand TAT Technologies better, we need to consider many other factors.
