The CryptoStar (CVE:CSTR) Share Price Is Up 200% And Shareholders Are Boasting About It
While CryptoStar Corp. (CVE:CSTR) shareholders are probably generally happy, the stock hasn't had particularly good run recently, with the share price falling 22% in the last quarter. Despite this, the stock is a strong performer over the last year, no doubt about that. Like an eagle, the share price soared 200% in that time. So some might not be surprised to see the price retrace some. The real question is whether the business is trending in the right direction.
Check out our latest analysis for CryptoStar
CryptoStar isn't a profitable company, so 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 fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.
In the last year CryptoStar saw its revenue shrink by 37%. So we would not have expected the share price to rise 200%. It just goes to show the market doesn't always pay attention to the reported numbers. Of course, it could be that the market expected this revenue drop.
