Because Endeavour Mining 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. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one does expect good top-line growth.
For the last half decade, Endeavour Mining can boast revenue growth at a rate of 12% per year. That's a fairly respectable growth rate. Arguably it's more than reflected in the very strong share price gain of 46% a year over a half a decade. We usually like strong growth stocks but it does seem the market already appreciates this one quite well!

On the other hand, we think the revenue and earnings trends are much more meaningful measures of the business.
