The past five years for NeoGenomics (NASDAQ:NEO) investors has not been profitable

Long term investing is the way to go, but that doesn't mean you should hold every stock forever. We don't wish catastrophic capital loss on anyone. For example, we sympathize with anyone who was caught holding NeoGenomics, Inc. (NASDAQ:NEO) during the five years that saw its share price drop a whopping 79%. And we doubt long term believers are the only worried holders, since the stock price has declined 44% over the last twelve months. Shareholders have had an even rougher run lately, with the share price down 14% in the last 90 days. Since shareholders are down over the longer term, lets look at the underlying fundamentals over the that time and see if they've been consistent with returns. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. Given that NeoGenomics 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. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth. Over five years, NeoGenomics grew its revenue at 9.9% per year. That's a fairly respectable growth rate. So the stock price fall of 12% per year seems pretty steep. The truth is that the growth might be below expectations, and investors are probably worried about the continual losses. You can see how earnings and revenue have changed over time in the image below (click on the chart to see the exact values). It's good to see that there was some significant insider buying in the last three months. That's a positive. That said, we think earnings and revenue growth trends are even more important factors to consider. You can see what analysts are predicting for NeoGenomics in this interactive graph of future profit estimates. Investors in NeoGenomics had a tough year, with a total loss of 44%, against a market gain of about 15%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. Unfortunately, last year's performance may indicate unresolved challenges, given that it was worse than the annualised loss of 12% over the last half decade. We realise that Baron Rothschild has said investors should "buy when there is blood on the streets", but we caution that investors should first be sure they are buying a high quality business. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. For instance, we've identified 2 warning signs for NeoGenomics that you should be aware of. There are plenty of other companies that have insiders buying up shares.
