Did Business Growth Power AnalytixInsight's (CVE:ALY) Share Price Gain of 156%?
It might seem bad, but the worst that can happen when you buy a stock (without leverage) is that its share price goes to zero. But if you buy shares in a really great company, you can more than double your money. For example, the AnalytixInsight Inc. (CVE:ALY) share price has soared 156% in the last three years. Most would be happy with that. Also pleasing for shareholders was the 35% gain in the last three months.

AnalytixInsight wasn't profitable in the last twelve months, it is unlikely we'll see a strong correlation between its share price and its earnings per share (EPS). Arguably revenue is our next best option. 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.
Over the last three years AnalytixInsight has grown its revenue at 40% annually. That's much better than most loss-making companies. Along the way, the share price gained 37% per year, a solid pop by our standards. This suggests the market has recognized the progress the business has made, at least to a significant degree.
