While not a mind-blowing move, it is good to see that the Remitly Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:RELY) share price has gained 12% in the last three months. But that hardly compensates for the shocking decline over the last twelve months. Specifically, the stock price nose-dived 79% in that time. Arguably, the recent bounce is to be expected after such a bad drop. The real question is whether the company can turn around its fortunes.
Given the past week has been tough on shareholders, let's investigate the fundamentals and see what we can learn.

Remitly Global isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. 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 Remitly Global saw its revenue grow by 55%. That's a strong result which is better than most other loss making companies. So the hefty 79% share price crash makes us think the company has somehow offended market participants. Something weird is definitely impacting the stock price; we'd venture the company has destroyed value somehow. What is clear is that the market is not judging the company on its revenue growth right now. Of course, markets do over-react so share price drop may be too harsh.

A Different Perspective
Remitly Global shareholders are down 79% for the year, even worse than the market loss of 20%. That's disappointing, but it's worth keeping in mind that the market-wide selling wouldn't have helped. It's great to see a nice little 12% rebound in the last three months. This could just be a bounce because the selling was too aggressive, but fingers crossed it's the start of a new trend. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Remitly Global better, we need to consider many other factors. Consider risks, for instance.
