Katipult Technology isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. 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.

Katipult Technology grew its revenue by 15% last year. We respect that sort of growth, no doubt. Buyers pushed the share price 13% in response, which isn't unreasonable. If revenue stays on trend, there may be plenty more share price gains to come.

Katipult Technology boasts a total shareholder return of 13% for the last year. A substantial portion of that gain has come in the last three months, with the stock up 33% in that time.

I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too.
