Yahoo Finance If You Had Bought EHang Holdings (NASDAQ:EH) Stock A Year Ago, You Could Pocket A 145% Gain Today
Some EHang Holdings Limited (NASDAQ:EH) shareholders are probably rather concerned to see the share price fall 57% over the last three months. Despite this, the stock is a strong performer over the last year, no doubt about that. We're very pleased to report the share price shot up 145% in that time. So we think most shareholders won't be too upset about the recent fall. More important, going forward, is how the business itself is going.

EHang Holdings 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. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one does expect good top-line growth.
EHang Holdings grew its revenue by 48% last year. That's a head and shoulders above most loss-making companies. Meanwhile, the market has paid attention, sending the share price soaring 145% in response. It's great to see strong revenue growth, but the question is whether it can be sustained. The strong share price rise indicates optimism, so there may be a better opportunity for buyers as the hype fades a bit.
