Arcimoto isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. 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.
Arcimoto grew its revenue by 8,996% last year. That's stonking growth even when compared to other loss-making stocks. But the share price has really rocketed in response gaining 319% as previously mentioned. Despite the strong growth, it's certainly possible the market has gotten a little over-excited. But if the share price does moderate a bit, there might be an opportunity for high growth investors.

It's probably worth noting that the CEO is paid less than the median at similar sized companies. It's always worth keeping an eye on CEO pay, but a more important question is whether the company will grow earnings throughout the years.

A Different Perspective
We're pleased to report that Arcimoto rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 319% over the last year. So this year's TSR was actually better than the three-year TSR (annualized) of 26%. Given the track record of solid returns over varying time frames, it might be worth putting Arcimoto on your watchlist. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. Even so, be aware that Arcimoto is showing 6 warning signs in our investment analysis , and 2 of those shouldn't be ignored...
