Does Boston Omaha’s (NASDAQ:BOMN) Share Price Gain of 17% Match Its Business Performance?
These days it’s easy to simply buy an index fund, and your returns should (roughly) match the market. But you can significantly boost your returns by picking above-average stocks. To wit, the Boston Omaha Corporation (NASDAQ:BOMN) share price is 17% higher than it was a year ago, much better than the market return of around -1.0% (not including dividends) in the same period. So that should have shareholders smiling. Boston Omaha hasn’t been listed for long, so it’s still not clear if it is a long term winner.

Because Boston Omaha is loss-making, 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. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.
Boston Omaha grew its revenue by 85% last year. That’s well above most other pre-profit companies. While the share price gain of 17% over twelve months is pretty tasty, you might argue it doesn’t fully reflect the strong revenue growth. So quite frankly it could be a good time to investigate Boston Omaha in some detail. Since we evolved from monkeys, we think in linear terms by nature. So if growth goes exponential, opportunity may exist for the enlightened.
