The Aeeris (ASX:AER) Share Price Is Up 112% And Shareholders Are Boasting About It
Aeeris Limited (ASX:AER) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 24% in the last month. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last year have been very strong. Indeed, the share price is up an impressive 112% in that time. So it may be that the share price is simply cooling off after a strong rise. More important, going forward, is how the business itself is going.
Check out our latest analysis for Aeeris
Aeeris 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 expect to see good revenue growth. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.
Aeeris grew its revenue by 18% last year. We respect that sort of growth, no doubt. While that revenue growth is pretty good the share price performance outshone it, with a lift of 112% as mentioned above. Given that the business has made good progress on the top line, it would be worth taking a look at its path to profitability. But investors need to be wary of how the 'fear of missing out' could influence them to buy without doing thorough research.
