Given that Empower Clinics didn’t make a profit in the last twelve months, we’ll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

In the last twelve months, Empower Clinics increased its revenue by 35%. We think that is pretty nice growth. Meanwhile, the share price tanked 57%, suggesting the market had much higher expectations. It is of course possible that the business will still deliver strong growth, it will just take longer than expected to do it. To our minds it isn’t enough to just look at revenue, anyway. Always consider when profits will flow.

A Different Perspective

We doubt Empower Clinics shareholders are happy with the loss of 57% over twelve months. That falls short of the market, which lost 17%. 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 114% 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.
