The PharmaCielo (CVE:PCLO) Share Price Is Up 80% And Shareholders Are Holding On
Some PharmaCielo Ltd. (CVE:PCLO) shareholders are probably rather concerned to see the share price fall 44% over the last three months. While that might be a setback, it doesn't negate the nice returns received over the last twelve months. After all, the share price is up a market-beating 80% in that time.

Given that PharmaCielo didn't make a profit in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit.
PharmaCielo grew its revenue by 235% last year. That's stonking growth even when compared to other loss-making stocks. While the share price gain of 80% 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 PharmaCielo 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.
