Yahoo Finance Announcing: Gogo (NASDAQ:GOGO) Stock Soared An Exciting 556% In The Last Year
It hasn't been the best quarter for Gogo Inc. (NASDAQ:GOGO) shareholders, since the share price has fallen 22% in that time. But over the last year the share price has taken off like one of Elon Musk's rockets. Indeed, the share price is up a whopping 556% in that time. So we wouldn't blame sellers for taking some profits. Of course, winners often do keep winning, so there may be more gains to come (if the business fundamentals stack up).
We love happy stories like this one. The company should be really proud of that performance!
Check out our latest analysis for Gogo
Gogo 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. 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.
Gogo grew its revenue by 51% last year. That's well above most other pre-profit companies. But the share price has really rocketed in response gaining 556% as previously mentioned. Even the most bullish shareholders might be thinking that the share price might drop back a bit, after a gain like that. But if the share price does moderate a bit, there might be an opportunity for high growth investors.
You can see below how earnings and revenue have changed over time (discover the exact values by clicking on the image).
It's good to see that there was some significant insider buying in the last three months. That's a positive. That said, we think earnings and revenue growth trends are even more important factors to consider.

Therefore it seems like sentiment around the company has been positive lately. In the best case scenario, this may hint at some real business momentum, implying that now could be a great time to delve deeper. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. Like risks, for instance.
