The most you can lose on any stock (assuming you don't use leverage) is 100% of your money. But when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%. For example, the Bubs Australia Limited (ASX:BUB) share price has soared 109% return in just a single year. On top of that, the share price is up 41% in about a quarter. The company reported its financial results recently; you can catch up on the latest numbers by reading our company report. Bubs Australia hasn't been listed for long, so it's still not clear if it is a long term winner.

Because Bubs Australia 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.
In the last year Bubs Australia saw its revenue grow by 160%. That's well above most other pre-profit companies. And the share price has responded, gaining 109% as we previously mentioned. That sort of revenue growth is bound to attract attention, even if the company doesn't turn a profit. Given the positive sentiment around the stock we're cautious, but there's no doubt its worth watching.
