We don't think that Surgical Science Sweden's modest trailing twelve month profit has the market's full attention at the moment. We think revenue is probably a better guide. As a general rule, we think this kind of company is more comparable to loss-making stocks, since the actual profit is so low. It would be hard to believe in a more profitable future without growing revenues.
In the last year Surgical Science Sweden saw its revenue grow by 47%. That's a head and shoulders above most loss-making companies. But the share price has really rocketed in response gaining 313% as previously mentioned. Despite the strong growth, it's certainly possible the market has gotten a little over-excited. So this looks like a great watchlist candidate for investors who look for high growth inflexion points.
