It is doubtless a positive to see that the Excellon Resources Inc. (TSE:EXN) share price has gained some 39% in the last three months.

Check out our latest analysis for Excellon Resources
Because Excellon Resources is loss-making, we think the market is probably more focussed on revenue and revenue growth, at least for now. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. 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.
Over three years, Excellon Resources grew revenue at 18% per year. That's a pretty good rate of top-line growth. Shareholders have endured a share price decline of 17% per year. This implies the market had higher expectations of Excellon Resources. With revenue growing at a solid clip, now might be the time to focus on the possibility that it will have a brighter future.

A Different Perspective
We regret to report that Excellon Resources shareholders are down 17% for the year. Unfortunately, that's worse than the broader market decline of 3.0%. However, it could simply be that the share price has been impacted by broader market jitters. It might be worth keeping an eye on the fundamentals, in case there's a good opportunity. Unfortunately, last year's performance may indicate unresolved challenges, given that it was worse than the annualised loss of 6.0% over the last half decade. Generally speaking long term share price weakness can be a bad sign, though contrarian investors might want to research the stock in hope of a turnaround.
