Further weakness as NeoGenomics (NASDAQ:NEO) drops 3.8% this week, taking three-year losses to 69%
While not a mind-blowing move, it is good to see that the NeoGenomics, Inc. (NASDAQ:NEO) share price has gained 20% in the last three months. But over the last three years we've seen a quite serious decline. Indeed, the share price is down a tragic 69% in the last three years. Some might say the recent bounce is to be expected after such a bad drop. Perhaps the company has turned over a new leaf.
With the stock having lost 3.8% in the past week, it's worth taking a look at business performance and seeing if there's any red flags.
View our latest analysis for NeoGenomics
Because NeoGenomics 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. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally hope to see good revenue growth. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit.
In the last three years, NeoGenomics saw its revenue grow by 9.6% per year, compound. That's a pretty good rate of top-line growth. That contrasts with the weak share price, which has fallen 19% compounded, over three years. The market must have had really high expectations to be disappointed with this progress. It would be well worth taking a closer look at the company, to determine growth trends (and balance sheet strength).

NeoGenomics is well known by investors, and plenty of clever analysts have tried to predict the future profit levels. Given we have quite a good number of analyst forecasts, it might be well worth checking out this free chart depicting consensus estimates.
A Different Perspective
NeoGenomics shareholders gained a total return of 10% during the year. Unfortunately this falls short of the market return. On the bright side, that's still a gain, and it is certainly better than the yearly loss of about 5% endured over half a decade. It could well be that the business is stabilizing. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too.
