We don't think that Endurance International Group Holdings's modest trailing twelve month profit has the market's full attention at the moment. We think revenue is probably a better guide. As a general rule, we think this kind of company is more comparable to loss-making stocks, since the actual profit is so low. It would be hard to believe in a more profitable future without growing revenues.
Over five years, Endurance International Group Holdings grew its revenue at 18% per year. That's well above most other pre-profit companies. Shareholders are no doubt disappointed with the loss of 11%, each year, in that time. You could say that the market has been harsh, given the top line growth.

Investors in Endurance International Group Holdings had a tough year, with a total loss of 7.3%, against a market gain of about 9.4%.
