And the share price decline continued over the last week, dropping some 15%.

Avalon GloboCare 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. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one does expect good top-line growth.

Over three years, Avalon GloboCare grew revenue at 6.1% per year. That's not a very high growth rate considering it doesn't make profits. Indeed, the stock dropped 4% over the last three years.
