CarParts.com (NASDAQ:PRTS) delivers shareholders incredible 91% CAGR over 3 years, surging 14% in the last week alone
Generally speaking, investors are inspired to be stock pickers by the potential to find the big winners. Mistakes are inevitable, but a single top stock pick can cover any losses, and so much more. Take, for example, the CarParts.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:PRTS) share price, which skyrocketed 600% over three years. On top of that, the share price is up 40% in about a quarter. It really delights us to see such great share price performance for investors.
Since it's been a strong week for CarParts.com shareholders, let's have a look at trend of the longer term fundamentals.

Given that CarParts.com 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. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. 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 3 years CarParts.com saw its revenue grow at 31% per year. That's well above most pre-profit companies. And it's not just the revenue that is taking off. The share price is up 91% per year in that time. Despite the strong run, top performers like CarParts.com have been known to go on winning for decades. In fact, it might be time to put it on your watchlist, if you're not already familiar with the stock.

A Different Perspective
We regret to report that CarParts.com shareholders are down 51% for the year. Unfortunately, that's worse than the broader market decline of 13%. Having said that, it's inevitable that some stocks will be oversold in a falling market. The key is to keep your eyes on the fundamental developments. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 26% per year over half a decade. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand CarParts.com better, we need to consider many other factors. Take risks, for example - CarParts.com has 3 warning signs we think you should be aware of.
