If You Had Bought Munters Group (STO:MTRS) Shares A Year Ago You'd Have Made 39%

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. For example, the Munters Group AB (publ) (STO:MTRS) share price is up 39% in the last year, clearly besting the market return of around 24% (not including dividends). That's a solid performance by our standards! We'll need to follow Munters Group for a while to get a better sense of its share price trend, since it hasn't been listed for particularly long.

Check out our latest analysis for Munters Group

Munters Group 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. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

Over the last twelve months, Munters Group's revenue grew by 20%. That's a fairly respectable growth rate. Buyers pushed the share price 39% in response, which isn't unreasonable. If the company can maintain the revenue growth, the share price could go higher still. But it's crucial to check profitability and cash flow before forming a view on the future.

A Different Perspective

Munters Group shareholders should be happy with the total gain of 39% over the last twelve months. And the share price momentum remains respectable, with a gain of 15% in the last three months. Demand for the stock from multiple parties is pushing the price higher; it could be that word is getting out about its virtues as a business.
