Because Waberer's International Nyrt is loss-making, 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. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.
Waberer's International Nyrt's revenue didn't grow at all in the last year. In fact, it fell 0.2%. That looks pretty grim, at a glance. Shareholders have seen the share price drop 49% in that time. That seems pretty reasonable given the lack of both profits and revenue growth. We think most holders must believe revenue growth will improve, or else costs will decline.
