Yahoo Finance EcoSynthetix's (TSE:ECO) growing losses don't faze investors as the stock pops 11% this past week
The worst result, after buying shares in a company (assuming no leverage), would be if you lose all the money you put in. But if you buy shares in a really great company, you can more than double your money. For example, the EcoSynthetix Inc. (TSE:ECO) share price has soared 202% in the last three years. How nice for those who held the stock! In more good news, the share price has risen 16% in thirty days. This could be related to the recent financial results that were recently released - you could check the most recent data by reading our company report.
Since it's been a strong week for EcoSynthetix shareholders, let's have a look at trend of the longer term fundamentals.

Given that EcoSynthetix 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. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.
In the last 3 years EcoSynthetix saw its revenue shrink by 17% per year. So the share price gain of 45% per year is quite surprising. It's a good reminder that expectations about the future, not the past history, always impact share prices.

A Different Perspective
It's good to see that EcoSynthetix has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 94% in the last twelve months. That's better than the annualised return of 22% over half a decade, implying that the company is doing better recently. Someone with an optimistic perspective could view the recent improvement in TSR as indicating that the business itself is getting better with time.
