Announcing: Franklin Covey (NYSE:FC) Stock Increased An Energizing 122% In The Last Three Years
The worst result, after buying shares in a company (assuming no leverage), would be if you lose all the money you put in. But in contrast you can make much more than 100% if the company does well. For instance the Franklin Covey Co. (NYSE:FC) share price is 122% higher than it was three years ago. That sort of return is as solid as granite. On top of that, the share price is up 16% in about a quarter.
Check out our latest analysis for Franklin Covey
Franklin Covey isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.
Franklin Covey's revenue trended up 4.4% each year over three years. Considering the company is losing money, we think that rate of revenue growth is uninspiring. In contrast, the stock has popped 31% per year in that time - an impressive result. Shareholders should be pretty happy with that, although interested investors might want to examine the financial data more closely to see if the gains are really justified. It seems likely that the market is pretty optimistic about Franklin Covey, given it is losing money.
