kneat.com isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. 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.
kneat.com's revenue trended up 77% each year over three years. That's well above most pre-profit companies. Along the way, the share price gained 46% per year, a solid pop by our standards. This suggests the market has recognized the progress the business has made, at least to a significant degree. That's not to say we think the share price is too high. In fact, it might be worth keeping an eye on this one.

While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important.
