Neurotech International 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 desire strong revenue growth. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit.
In the last 5 years Neurotech International saw its revenue grow at 64% per year. That's well above most pre-profit companies. Arguably, this is well and truly reflected in the strong share price gain of 43%(per year) over the same period. Despite the strong run, top performers like Neurotech International have been known to go on winning for decades. So we'd recommend you take a closer look at this one, but keep in mind the market seems optimistic.
