Those who invested in Olink Holding (NASDAQ:OLK) a year ago are up 32%
While Olink Holding AB (publ) (NASDAQ:OLK) shareholders are probably generally happy, the stock hasn't had particularly good run recently, with the share price falling 13% in the last quarter. But that doesn't change the reality that over twelve months the stock has done really well. Looking at the full year, the company has easily bested an index fund by gaining 32%.
With that in mind, it's worth seeing if the company's underlying fundamentals have been the driver of long term performance, or if there are some discrepancies.

Because Olink Holding 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. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.
In the last year Olink Holding saw its revenue grow by 39%. That's a fairly respectable growth rate. While the share price performed well, gaining 32% over twelve months, you could argue the revenue growth warranted it. If the company can maintain the revenue growth, the share price could go higher still.
