Investors Who Bought Reliq Health Technologies (CVE:RHT) Shares Three Years Ago Are Now Up 410%

Reliq Health Technologies Inc. (CVE:RHT) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 11% in the last month. But that doesn't displace its brilliant performance over three years. In fact, the share price has taken off in that time, up 410%. As long term investors the recent fall doesn't detract all that much from the longer term story. The share price action could signify that the business itself is dramatically improved, in that time.

Reliq Health Technologies recorded just CA$455,265 in revenue over the last twelve months, which isn't really enough for us to consider it to have a proven product. So it seems that the investors focused more on what could be, than paying attention to the current revenues (or lack thereof). It seems likely some shareholders believe that Reliq Health Technologies will significantly advance the business plan before too long.

As a general rule, if a company doesn't have much revenue, and it loses money, then it is a high risk investment. You should be aware that there is always a chance that this sort of company will need to issue more shares to raise money to continue pursuing its business plan. While some such companies do very well over the long term, others become hyped up by promoters before eventually falling back down to earth, and going bankrupt (or being recapitalized). Reliq Health Technologies has already given some investors a taste of the sweet gains that high risk investing can generate, if your timing is right.

Our data indicates that Reliq Health Technologies had CA$1.1m more in total liabilities than it had cash, when it last reported in September 2019. That makes it extremely high risk, in our view. So we're surprised to see the stock up 49% per year, over 3 years , but we're happy for holders. Investors must really like its potential.
