Atlanta Braves Holdings 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. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually desire strong 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 5 years Atlanta Braves Holdings saw its revenue grow at 18% per year. Even measured against other revenue-focussed companies, that's a good result. So it's not entirely surprising that the share price reflected this performance by increasing at a rate of 15% per year, in that time. So it seems likely that buyers have paid attention to the strong revenue growth. To our minds that makes Atlanta Braves Holdings worth investigating - it may have its best days ahead.
