Those who invested in Metro Mining (ASX:MMI) a year ago are up 200%
Now it's worth having a look at the company's fundamentals too, because that will help us determine if the long term shareholder return has matched the performance of the underlying business.
Check out our latest analysis for Metro Mining
Given that Metro Mining 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. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally hope to see good revenue growth. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.
Over the last twelve months, Metro Mining's revenue grew by 44%. That's a fairly respectable growth rate. The revenue growth is decent but the share price had an even better year, gaining 200%. If the profitability is on the horizon then now could be a very exciting time to be a shareholder. Of course, we are always cautious about succumbing to 'fear of missing out' when a stock has shot up strongly.

We're pleased to report that Metro Mining shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 200% over one year. There's no doubt those recent returns are much better than the TSR loss of 7% per year over five years. We generally put more weight on the long term performance over the short term, but the recent improvement could hint at a (positive) inflection point within the business. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Metro Mining better, we need to consider many other factors. To that end, you should learn about the 2 warning signs we've spotted with Metro Mining (including 1 which makes us a bit uncomfortable) .

Here's Why We Think Steadfast Group (ASX:SDF) Might Deserve Your Attention Today
The excitement of investing in a company that can reverse its fortunes is a big draw for some speculators, so even companies that have no revenue, no profit, and a record of falling short, can manage to find investors. Unfortunately, these high risk investments often have little probability of ever paying off, and many investors pay a price to learn their lesson. Loss making companies can act like a sponge for capital - so investors should be cautious that they're not throwing good money after bad. If this kind of company isn't your style, you like companies that generate revenue, and even earn profits, then you may well be interested in Steadfast Group (ASX:SDF). Even if this company is fairly valued by the market, investors would agree that generating consistent profits will continue to provide Steadfast Group with the means to add long-term value to shareholders. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. How Fast Is Steadfast Group Growing Its Earnings Per Share? Even when EPS earnings per share (EPS) growth is unexceptional, company value can be created if this rate is sustained each year. So it's no surprise that some investors are more inclined to invest in profitable businesses. Steadfast Group has grown its trailing twelve month EPS from AU$0.20 to AU$0.21, in the last year. That's a modest gain of 8.6%. Top-line growth is a great indicator that growth is sustainable, and combined with a high earnings before interest and taxation (EBIT) margin, it's a great way for a company to maintain a competitive advantage in the market. Not all of Steadfast Group's revenue this year is revenue from operations, so keep in mind the revenue and margin numbers used in this article might not be the best representation of the underlying business. Steadfast Group shareholders can take confidence from the fact that EBIT margins are up from 26% to 30%, and revenue is growing. That's great to see, on both counts. The chart below shows how the company's bottom and top lines have progressed over time. Click on the chart to see the exact numbers. See our latest analysis for Steadfast Group While we live in the present moment, there's little doubt that the future matters most in the investment decision process. So why not check this interactive chart depicting future EPS estimates, for Steadfast Group? Are Steadfast Group Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders? It should give investors a sense of security owning shares in a company if insiders also own shares, creating a close alignment their interests. Shareholders will be pleased by the fact that insiders own Steadfast Group shares worth a considerable sum. We note that their impressive stake in the company is worth AU$313m. Holders should find this level of insider commitment quite encouraging, since it would ensure that the leaders of the company would also experience their success, or failure, with the stock. Is Steadfast Group Worth Keeping An Eye On? One important encouraging feature of Steadfast Group is that it is growing profits. To add an extra spark to the fire, significant insider ownership in the company is another highlight. The combination definitely favoured by investors so consider keeping the company on a watchlist. You still need to take note of risks, for example - Steadfast Group has 3 warning signs we think you should be aware of. Although Steadfast Group certainly looks good, it may appeal to more investors if insiders were buying up shares.
