Yahoo Finance Introducing QYOU Media (CVE:QYOU), The Stock That Soared 567% In The Last Year
The last three months have been tough on QYOU Media Inc. (CVE:QYOU) shareholders, who have seen the share price decline a rather worrying 35%. But that cannot eclipse the spectacular share price rise we've seen over the last twelve months. In fact, it is up 567% in that time. So the recent fall isn't enough to negate the good performance. Only time will tell if there is still too much optimism currently reflected in the share price.
Anyone who held for that rewarding ride would probably be keen to talk about it.

Given that QYOU Media 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. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.
In the last year QYOU Media saw its revenue shrink by 51%. This is in stark contrast to the splendorous stock price, which has rocketed 567% since this time a year ago. There can be no doubt this kind of decoupling of revenue growth and share price growth is unusual to see in loss making companies. To us, a gain like this looks like speculation, but there might be historical trends to back it up.
