Mansion International Holdings isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. 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.

Mansion International Holdings's revenue didn't grow at all in the last year. In fact, it fell 14%. That looks pretty grim, at a glance. In the absence of profits, it's not unreasonable that the share price fell 51%. Fingers crossed this is the low ebb for the stock. We don't generally like to own companies with falling revenues and no profits, so we're pretty cautious of this one, at the moment.

A Different Perspective

We doubt Mansion International Holdings shareholders are happy with the loss of 51% over twelve months. That falls short of the market, which lost 8.2%. That's disappointing, but it's worth keeping in mind that the market-wide selling wouldn't have helped. With the stock down 1.8% over the last three months, the market doesn't seem to believe that the company has solved all its problems. Given the relatively short history of this stock, we'd remain pretty wary until we see some strong business performance. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Mansion International Holdings better, we need to consider many other factors. Consider for instance, the ever-present spectre of investment risk.
