BlackBerry (TSE:BB shareholders incur further losses as stock declines 3.4% this week, taking five-year losses to 57%
Intelligent long term investing is the way to go. But that doesn't mean long term investors can avoid big losses. For example the BlackBerry Limited(TSE:BB) share price dropped 57% over five years. That's not a lot of fun for true believers. And it's not just long term holders hurting, because the stock is down 46% in the last year. Unfortunately the share price momentum is still quite negative, with prices down 20% in thirty days. Importantly, this could be a market reaction to the recently released financial results. You can check out the latest numbers in our company report.
After losing 3.4% this past week, it's worth investigating the company's fundamentals to see what we can infer from past performance.
BlackBerry isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.
Over half a decade BlackBerry reduced its trailing twelve month revenue by 5.4% for each year. While far from catastrophic that is not good. The share price decline of 9% compound, over five years, is understandable given the company is losing money, and revenue is moving in the wrong direction. We don't think anyone is rushing to buy this stock.
