Did You Manage To Avoid SRAX's (NASDAQ:SRAX) Painful 64% Share Price Drop?
It is doubtless a positive to see that the SRAX, Inc. (NASDAQ:SRAX) share price has gained some 44% in the last three months. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last half decade have been disappointing. In fact, the share price has declined rather badly, down some 64% in that time. Some might say the recent bounce is to be expected after such a bad drop. Of course, this could be the start of a turnaround.

Because SRAX made a loss in the last twelve months, we think the market is probably more focussed on revenue and revenue growth, at least for now. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.
Over half a decade SRAX reduced its trailing twelve month revenue by 6.9% for each year. That's not what investors generally want to see. The share price decline of 18% compound, over five years, is understandable given the company is losing money, and revenue is moving in the wrong direction. We don't think anyone is rushing to buy this stock. Ultimately, it may be worth watching - should revenue pick up, the share price might follow.

A Different Perspective
While the broader market gained around 23% in the last year, SRAX shareholders lost 36%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. Unfortunately, last year's performance may indicate unresolved challenges, given that it was worse than the annualised loss of 18% over the last half decade. Generally speaking long term share price weakness can be a bad sign, though contrarian investors might want to research the stock in hope of a turnaround. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand SRAX better, we need to consider many other factors. Like risks, for instance.
