The most you can lose on any stock (assuming you don't use leverage) is 100% of your money. But in contrast you can make much more than 100% if the company does well. For example, the TP Group plc (LON:TPG) share price has soared 126% in the last three years. That sort of return is as solid as granite. In the last week the share price is up 1.4%.

Check out our latest analysis for TP Group

While TP Group made a small profit, in the last year, we think that the market is probably more focussed on the top line growth at the moment. As a general rule, we think this kind of company is more comparable to loss-making stocks, since the actual profit is so low. For shareholders to have confidence a company will grow profits significantly, it must grow revenue.

TP Group's revenue trended up 25% each year over three years. That's well above most pre-profit companies. Meanwhile, the share price performance has been pretty solid at 31% compound over three years. But it does seem like the market is paying attention to strong revenue growth. Nonetheless, we'd say TP Group is still worth investigating - successful businesses can often keep growing for long periods.

It is of course excellent to see how TP Group has grown profits over the years, but the future is more important for shareholders. It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on how its financial position has changed over time.

A Different Perspective

It's nice to see that TP Group shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 13% over the last year. That certainly beats the loss of about 8.6% per year over the last half decade. The long term loss makes us cautious, but the short term TSR gain certainly hints at a brighter future. Shareholders might want to examine this detailed historical graph of past earnings, revenue and cash flow.
