Can You Imagine How Elated HyreCar's (NASDAQ:HYRE) Shareholders Feel About Its 434% Share Price Gain?

HyreCar Inc. (NASDAQ:HYRE) shareholders have seen the share price descend 28% over the month. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last year have been spectacular. In that time, shareholders have had the pleasure of a 434% boost to the share price. Arguably, the recent fall is to be expected after such a strong rise. While winners often keep winning, it can pay to be cautious after a strong rise.

Because HyreCar made a loss in the last twelve months, 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.

HyreCar grew its revenue by 48% last year. That's well above most other pre-profit companies. But the share price has really rocketed in response gaining 434% as previously mentioned. Even the most bullish shareholders might be thinking that the share price might drop back a bit, after a gain like that. But if the share price does moderate a bit, there might be an opportunity for high growth investors.
