How Much Did Green Organic Dutchman Holdings'(TSE:TGOD) Shareholders Earn From Share Price Movements Over The Last Year?

As every investor would know, you don't hit a homerun every time you swing. But it's not unreasonable to try to avoid truly shocking capital losses. So we hope that those who held The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSE:TGOD) during the last year don't lose the lesson, in addition to the 87% hit to the value of their shares. That'd be enough to make even the strongest stomachs churn. We wouldn't rush to judgement on Green Organic Dutchman Holdings because we don't have a long term history to look at. Even worse, it's down 15% in about a month, which isn't fun at all.

While a drop like that is definitely a body blow, money isn't as important as health and happiness.

Given that Green Organic Dutchman Holdings 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. 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 twelve months, Green Organic Dutchman Holdings increased its revenue by 80%. That's a strong result which is better than most other loss making companies. So on the face of it we're really surprised to see the share price down 87% over twelve months. There's clearly something unusual going on here such as an acquisition that hasn't delivered expected profits. 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

Green Organic Dutchman Holdings shareholders are down 87% for the year, even worse than the market loss of 3.7%. There's no doubt that's a disappointment, but the stock may well have fared better in a stronger market. The share price decline has continued throughout the most recent three months, down 7.9%, suggesting an absence of enthusiasm from investors. Given the relatively short history of this stock, we'd remain pretty wary until we see some strong business performance. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term.
