Imagine Holding Affimed (NASDAQ:AFMD) Shares While The Price Zoomed 323% Higher

The last three months have been tough on Affimed N.V. (NASDAQ:AFMD) shareholders, who have seen the share price decline a rather worrying 31%. But over the last three years the stock has shone bright like a diamond. Indeed, the share price is up a whopping 323% in that time. Arguably, the recent fall is to be expected after such a strong rise. The only way to form a view of whether the current price is justified is to consider the merits of the business itself.

Check out our latest analysis for Affimed

Because Affimed 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. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one does expect good top-line growth.

Over the last three years Affimed has grown its revenue at 34% annually. That's well above most pre-profit companies. And it's not just the revenue that is taking off. The share price is up 62% per year in that time. Despite the strong run, top performers like Affimed have been known to go on winning for decades. So we'd recommend you take a closer look at this one, or even put it on your watchlist.

A Different Perspective

It's good to see that Affimed has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 77% in the last twelve months. That's better than the annualised return of 19% over half a decade, implying that the company is doing better recently. In the best case scenario, this may hint at some real business momentum, implying that now could be a great time to delve deeper. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. To that end, you should learn about the 3 warning signs we've spotted with Affimed (including 1 which is a bit concerning) .
