PLBY Group's (NASDAQ:PLBY) investors will be pleased with their 23% return over the last year
Some PLBY Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLBY) shareholders are probably rather concerned to see the share price fall 56% over the last three months. But looking back over the last year, the returns have actually been rather pleasing! Looking at the full year, the company has easily bested an index fund by gaining 23%.
So let's assess the underlying fundamentals over the last 1 year and see if they've moved in lock-step with shareholder returns.

Because PLBY Group 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. 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.
In the last year PLBY Group saw its revenue grow by 61%. That's stonking growth even when compared to other loss-making stocks. The solid 23% share price gain goes down pretty well, but it's not necessarily as good as you might expect given the top notch revenue growth. So quite frankly it could be a good time to investigate PLBY Group 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.
