KAMAZ Publicly Traded 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. 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, KAMAZ Publicly Traded can boast revenue growth at a rate of 15% per year. That's well above most pre-profit companies. So it's not entirely surprising that the share price reflected this performance by increasing at a rate of 16% per year, in that time. So it seems likely that buyers have paid attention to the strong revenue growth. To our minds that makes KAMAZ Publicly Traded worth investigating - it may have its best days ahead.

What about the Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?
We'd be remiss not to mention the difference between KAMAZ Publicly Traded's total shareholder return (TSR) and its share price return. Arguably the TSR is a more complete return calculation because it accounts for the value of dividends (as if they were reinvested), along with the hypothetical value of any discounted capital that have been offered to shareholders. Its history of dividend payouts mean that KAMAZ Publicly Traded's TSR of 114% over the last 5 years is better than the share price return.
A Different Perspective
KAMAZ Publicly Traded provided a TSR of 6.6% over the last twelve months. But that return falls short of the market. If we look back over five years, the returns are even better, coming in at 16% per year for five years. It may well be that this is a business worth popping on the watching, given the continuing positive reception, over time, from the market.
