The nature of investing is that you win some, and you lose some. And there's no doubt that WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ:WIMI) stock has had a really bad year. To wit the share price is down 61% in that time. Because WiMi Hologram Cloud hasn't been listed for many years, the market is still learning about how the business performs. Furthermore, it's down 18% in about a quarter. That's not much fun for holders.
Since shareholders are down over the longer term, lets look at the underlying fundamentals over the that time and see if they've been consistent with returns.

Because WiMi Hologram Cloud 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. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.
In the last year WiMi Hologram Cloud saw its revenue grow by 22%. That's definitely a respectable growth rate. Unfortunately it seems investors wanted more, because the share price is down 61% in that time. It is of course possible that the business will still deliver strong growth, it will just take longer than expected to do it. For us it's important to consider when you think a company will become profitable, if you're basing your valuation on revenue.

A Different Perspective
We doubt WiMi Hologram Cloud shareholders are happy with the loss of 61% over twelve months. That falls short of the market, which lost 19%. That's disappointing, but it's worth keeping in mind that the market-wide selling wouldn't have helped. With the stock down 18% 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. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too.
