Yahoo Finance Can You Imagine How Chuffed YOC's (ETR:YOC) Shareholders Feel About Its 170% Share Price Gain?
When you buy shares in a company, it's worth keeping in mind the possibility that it could fail, and you could lose your money. But on a lighter note, a good company can see its share price rise well over 100%. One great example is YOC AG (ETR:YOC) which saw its share price drive 170% higher over five years. Also pleasing for shareholders was the 20% gain in the last three months. This could be related to the recent financial results, released recently - you can catch up on the most recent data by reading our company report.

We don't think that YOC's modest trailing twelve month profit has the market's full attention at the moment. We think revenue is probably a better guide. Generally speaking, we'd consider a stock like this alongside loss-making companies, simply because the quantum of the profit is so low. For shareholders to have confidence a company will grow profits significantly, it must grow revenue.
For the last half decade, YOC can boast revenue growth at a rate of 11% per year. That's a fairly respectable growth rate. Broadly speaking, this solid progress may well be reflected by the healthy share price gain of 22% per year over five years. Given that the business has made good progress on the top line, it would be worth taking a look at the growth trend. Accelerating growth can be a sign of an inflection point - and could indicate profits lie ahead. Worth watching 100%

A Different Perspective
It's nice to see that YOC shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 39% over the last year. That's better than the annualised return of 22% over half a decade, implying that the company is doing better recently. Given the share price momentum remains strong, it might be worth taking a closer look at the stock, lest you miss an opportunity.
