These days it's easy to simply buy an index fund, and your returns should (roughly) match the market. But investors can boost returns by picking market-beating companies to own shares in. For example, the Remor Solar Polska S.A. (WSE:RSP) share price is up 100% in the last year, clearly besting than the market return of around -5.9% (not including dividends). So that should have shareholders smiling. On the other hand, longer term shareholders have had a tougher run, with the stock falling 5.3% in three years.

We don't think Remor Solar Polska's revenue of zł164,236 is enough to establish significant demand. As a result, we think it's unlikely shareholders are paying much attention to current revenue, but rather speculating on growth in the years to come. Investors will be hoping that Remor Solar Polska can make progress and gain better traction for the business, before it runs low on cash.
As a general rule, if a company doesn't have much revenue, and it loses money, then it is a high risk investment. There is almost always a chance they will need to raise more capital, and their progress - and share price - will dictate how dilutive that is to current holders. While some companies like this go on to deliver on their plan, making good money for shareholders, many end in painful losses and eventual de-listing. Some Remor Solar Polska investors have already had a taste of the sweet taste stocks like this can leave in the mouth, as they gain popularity and attract speculative capital.
Remor Solar Polska had liabilities exceeding cash by zł513,412 when it last reported in December 2018, according to our data. That puts it in the highest risk category, according to our analysis. So the fact that the stock is up 100% in the last year shows that high risks can lead to high rewards, sometimes. Investors must really like its potential.

In reality it's hard to have much certainty when valuing a business that has neither revenue or profit. One thing you can do is check if company insiders are buying shares. If they are buying a significant amount of shares, that's certainly a good thing. Luckily we are in a position to provide you with this free chart of insider buying (and selling).
