Quisitive Technology Solutions, Inc. (CVE:QUIS) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 17% in the last quarter. But that cannot eclipse the spectacular share price rise we’ve seen over the last twelve months. In fact, it is up 377% in that time. So it is not that surprising to see the stock retrace a little. Of course, winners often do keep winning, so there may be more gains to come (if the business fundamentals stack up).

View our latest analysis for Quisitive Technology Solutions

Because Quisitive Technology Solutions 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. 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.

Over the last twelve months, Quisitive Technology Solutions’ revenue grew by 79%. That’s well above most other pre-profit companies. But the share price has really rocketed in response gaining 377% as previously mentioned. Even the most bullish shareholders might be thinking that the share price might drop back a bit, after a gain like that. But if the share price does moderate a bit, there might be an opportunity for high growth investors.

A Different Perspective

Quisitive Technology Solutions boasts a total shareholder return of 377% for the last year. We regret to report that the share price is down 17% over ninety days. Shorter term share price moves often don’t signify much about the business itself. 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.
