This week we saw the Sinco Pharmaceuticals Holdings Limited (HKG:6833) share price climb by 18%.

In fact, the share price is down 46% in the last three years, falling well short of the market return.

Given that Sinco Pharmaceuticals Holdings 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.
Over three years, Sinco Pharmaceuticals Holdings grew revenue at 1.5% per year. Given it's losing money in pursuit of growth, we are not really impressed with that. The stock dropped 19% during that time. If revenue growth accelerates, we might see the share price bounce. But the real upside for shareholders will be if the company can start generating profits.

The three-year loss of 19% per year isn't as bad as the last twelve months, suggesting that the company has not been able to convince the market it has solved its problems. Although Baron Rothschild famously said to "buy when there's blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own", he also focusses on high quality stocks with solid prospects.
