Jiangsu Zhongli Group Co.,Ltd (SZSE:002309) shareholders will doubtless be very grateful to see the share price up 54% in the last quarter. But over the last three years we've seen a quite serious decline. Tragically, the share price declined 67% in that time. So it is really good to see an improvement. After all, could be that the fall was overdone.

The recent uptick of 28% could be a positive sign of things to come, so let's take a look at historical fundamentals.

Given that Jiangsu Zhongli GroupLtd 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. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually desire strong revenue growth. 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.

Over the last three years, Jiangsu Zhongli GroupLtd's revenue dropped 43% per year. That means its revenue trend is very weak compared to other loss making companies. With no profits and falling revenue it is no surprise that investors have been dumping the stock, pushing the price down by 19% per year over that time. When revenue is dropping, and losses are still costing, and the share price sinking fast, it's fair to ask if something is remiss. After losing money on a declining business with falling stock price, we always consider whether eager bagholders are still offering us a reasonable exit price.

A Different Perspective

Jiangsu Zhongli GroupLtd shareholders are down 29% for the year, but the market itself is up 11%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. Unfortunately, last year's performance may indicate unresolved challenges, given that it was worse than the annualised loss of 9% over the last half decade. Generally speaking long term share price weakness can be a bad sign, though contrarian investors might want to research the stock in hope of a turnaround. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important.
