Yahoo Finance Announcing: Pine Cliff Energy (TSE:PNE) Stock Increased An Energizing 196% In The Last Year
When you buy shares in a company, there is always a risk that the price drops to zero. But if you pick the right stock, you can make a lot more than 100%. For example, the Pine Cliff Energy Ltd. (TSE:PNE) share price had more than doubled in just one year - up 196%. It's also good to see the share price up 57% over the last quarter. However, the longer term returns haven't been so impressive, with the stock up just 3.9% in the last three years.

Pine Cliff Energy wasn't profitable in the last twelve months, it is unlikely we'll see a strong correlation between its share price and its earnings per share (EPS). Arguably revenue is our next best option. 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 Pine Cliff Energy saw its revenue grow by 14%. That's not a very high growth rate considering it doesn't make profits. In contrast, the share price took off during the year, gaining 196%. We're happy that investors have made money, though we wonder if the increase will be sustained. It's quite likely that the market is considering other factors, not just revenue growth.

It's good to see that there was some significant insider buying in the last three months. That's a positive. That said, we think earnings and revenue growth trends are even more important factors to consider. This free report showing analyst forecasts should help you form a view on Pine Cliff Energy
A Different Perspective
It's good to see that Pine Cliff Energy has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 196% in the last twelve months. Notably the five-year annualised TSR loss of 9% per year compares very unfavourably with the recent share price performance. This makes us a little wary, but the business might have turned around its fortunes. 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. Take risks, for example - Pine Cliff Energy has 5 warning signs (and 2 which are a bit unpleasant) we think you should know about.
