EcoSynthetix 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. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one does expect good top-line growth.
In the last 5 years EcoSynthetix saw its revenue grow at 6.4% per year. That's a fairly respectable growth rate. While the share price has beat the market, compounding at 13% yearly, over five years, there's certainly some potential that the market hasn't fully considered the growth track record. If revenue growth can maintain for long enough, it's likely profits will flow. Lack of earnings means you have to project further into the future justify the valuation on the basis of future free cash flow.

In the best case scenario, this may hint at some real business momentum, implying that now could be a great time to delve deeper.
