If You Had Bought Kraken Robotics (CVE:PNG) Shares Three Years Ago You'd Have Made 475%

Investing can be hard but the potential fo an individual stock to pay off big time inspires us. Not every pick can be a winner, but when you pick the right stock, you can win big. For example, the Kraken Robotics Inc. (CVE:PNG) share price is up a whopping 475% in the last three years, a handsome return for long term holders. It's also up 11% in about a month.

Check out our latest analysis for Kraken Robotics

Given that Kraken Robotics 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.

Over the last three years Kraken Robotics has grown its revenue at 51% annually. That's well above most pre-profit companies. In light of this attractive revenue growth, it seems somewhat appropriate that the share price has been rocketing, boasting a gain of 79% per year, over the same period. It's always tempting to take profits after a share price gain like that, but high-growth companies like Kraken Robotics can sometimes sustain strong growth for many years. In fact, it might be time to put it on your watchlist, if you're not already familiar with the stock.
