SVMK wasn't profitable in the last twelve months, it is unlikely we'll see a strong correlation between its share price and its earnings per share (EPS). Arguably revenue is our next best option. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.
In the last year SVMK saw its revenue grow by 24%. That's a fairly respectable growth rate. While the share price performed well, gaining 30% over twelve months, you could argue the revenue growth warranted it. If the company can maintain the revenue growth, the share price could go higher still.
