Yahoo Finance CareRx (TSE:CRRX) adds CA$19m to market cap in the past 7 days, though investors from three years ago are still down 63%
It is a pleasure to report that the CareRx Corporation (TSE:CRRX) is up 45% in the last quarter. But over the last three years we've seen a quite serious decline. In that time, the share price dropped 63%. So it is really good to see an improvement. After all, could be that the fall was overdone.
The recent uptick of 16% could be a positive sign of things to come, so let's take a look at historical fundamentals.

CareRx isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally hope to see good revenue growth. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.
In the last three years, CareRx saw its revenue grow by 28% per year, compound. That's well above most other pre-profit companies. The share price has moved in quite the opposite direction, down 18% over that time, a bad result. It seems likely that the market is worried about the continual losses. But a share price drop of that magnitude could well signal that the market is overly negative on the stock.

A Different Perspective
CareRx shareholders gained a total return of 2.7% during the year. But that return falls short of the market. On the bright side, that's still a gain, and it is certainly better than the yearly loss of about 9% endured over half a decade. It could well be that the business is stabilizing. 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. To that end, you should be aware of the 2 warning signs we've spotted with CareRx .
