Because Go Madrid Benz Socimi 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. 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 year Go Madrid Benz Socimi saw its revenue grow by 16%. That's a fairly respectable growth rate. While the share price performed well, gaining 78% over twelve months, you could argue the revenue growth warranted it. If the company can maintain the revenue growth, the share price could go higher still.
