Yahoo Finance AfriTin Mining's (LON:ATM) investors will be pleased with their strong 136% return over the last year
While AfriTin Mining Limited (LON:ATM) shareholders are probably generally happy, the stock hasn't had particularly good run recently, with the share price falling 13% in the last quarter. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last year have been very strong. During that period, the share price soared a full 136%. So it is important to view the recent reduction in price through that lense. More important, going forward, is how the business itself is going.
With that in mind, it's worth seeing if the company's underlying fundamentals have been the driver of long term performance, or if there are some discrepancies.
Check out our latest analysis for AfriTin Mining
AfriTin Mining isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. 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.
Over the last twelve months, AfriTin Mining's revenue grew by 7,121%. That's well above most other pre-profit companies. And the share price has responded, gaining 136% as we previously mentioned. That sort of revenue growth is bound to attract attention, even if the company doesn't turn a profit. The strong share price rise indicates optimism, so there may be a better opportunity for buyers as the hype fades a bit.
