Yahoo Finance Enfusion (NYSE:ENFN) shareholders have endured a 55% loss from investing in the stock a year ago
Taking the occasional loss comes part and parcel with investing on the stock market. Unfortunately, shareholders of Enfusion, Inc. (NYSE:ENFN) have suffered share price declines over the last year. The share price is down a hefty 55% in that time. Enfusion may have better days ahead, of course; we've only looked at a one year period. More recently, the share price has dropped a further 29% in a month.
Since shareholders are down over the longer term, lets look at the underlying fundamentals over the that time and see if they've been consistent with returns.

Given that Enfusion 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. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong 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 twelve months, Enfusion increased its revenue by 38%. That's definitely a respectable growth rate. Meanwhile, the share price tanked 55%, suggesting the market had much higher expectations. It is of course possible that the business will still deliver strong growth, it will just take longer than expected to do it. To our minds it isn't enough to just look at revenue, anyway. Always consider when profits will flow.

A Different Perspective
Enfusion shareholders are down 55% for the year, even worse than the market loss of 23%. That's disappointing, but it's worth keeping in mind that the market-wide selling wouldn't have helped. The share price decline has continued throughout the most recent three months, down 28%, suggesting an absence of enthusiasm from investors. Given the relatively short history of this stock, we'd remain pretty wary until we see some strong business performance. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important.
