Because ATTRAQT Group made a loss in the last twelve months, we think the market is probably more focussed on revenue and revenue growth, at least for now. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good 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 half decade, ATTRAQT Group saw its revenue increase by 39% per year. That's better than most loss-making companies. Shareholders are no doubt disappointed with the loss of 8%, each year, in that time. So you might argue the ATTRAQT Group should get more credit for its rather impressive revenue growth over the period. If that's the case, now might be the smart time to take a close look at it.

A Different Perspective
It's nice to see that ATTRAQT Group shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 1.4% over the last year. There's no doubt those recent returns are much better than the TSR loss of 8% per year over five years. The long term loss makes us cautious, but the short term TSR gain certainly hints at a brighter future. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand ATTRAQT Group better, we need to consider many other factors. Consider for instance, the ever-present spectre of investment risk.
