Yahoo Finance Swelling losses haven't held back gains for Orbital Energy Group (NASDAQ:OEG) shareholders since they're up 220% over 1 year
It hasn't been the best quarter for Orbital Energy Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:OEG) shareholders, since the share price has fallen 25% in that time. But that doesn't detract from the splendid returns of the last year. Like an eagle, the share price soared 220% in that time. So some might not be surprised to see the price retrace some. Only time will tell if there is still too much optimism currently reflected in the share price.
Since the long term performance has been good but there's been a recent pullback of 13%, let's check if the fundamentals match the share price.

Given that Orbital Energy Group 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. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one does expect good top-line growth.
Orbital Energy Group grew its revenue by 108% last year. That's well above most other pre-profit companies. And the share price has responded, gaining 220% as we previously mentioned. It's great to see strong revenue growth, but the question is whether it can be sustained. The strong share price rise indicates optimism, so there may be a better opportunity for buyers as the hype fades a bit.
