Shenzhen Cotran New Material Co.,Ltd. (SZSE:300731) shareholders will doubtless be very grateful to see the share price up 58% in the last month. But that doesn't help the fact that the three year return is less impressive. After all, the share price is down 28% in the last three years, significantly under-performing the market.

On a more encouraging note the company has added CN¥583m to its market cap in just the last 7 days, so let's see if we can determine what's driven the three-year loss for shareholders.

While Shenzhen Cotran New MaterialLtd made a small profit, in the last year, we think that the market is probably more focussed on the top line growth at the moment. Generally speaking, we'd consider a stock like this alongside loss-making companies, simply because the quantum of the profit is so low. It would be hard to believe in a more profitable future without growing revenues.

Over three years, Shenzhen Cotran New MaterialLtd grew revenue at 13% per year. That's a pretty good rate of top-line growth. Shareholders have endured a share price decline of 9% per year. So the market has definitely lost some love for the stock. With revenue growing at a solid clip, now might be the time to focus on the possibility that it will have a brighter future.
