Antibe Therapeutics isn't a profitable company, so 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. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.
In the last 3 years Antibe Therapeutics saw its revenue grow at 4.7% per year. That's not a very high growth rate considering it doesn't make profits. In contrast, the stock has popped 31% per year in that time - an impressive result. Shareholders should be pretty happy with that, although interested investors might want to examine the financial data more closely to see if the gains are really justified. It seems likely that the market is pretty optimistic about Antibe Therapeutics, given it is losing money.

A Different Perspective
We're pleased to report that Antibe Therapeutics shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 31% over one year. That certainly beats the loss of about 5.1% per year over the last half decade. We generally put more weight on the long term performance over the short term, but the recent improvement could hint at a (positive) inflection point within the business.
