But spare a thought for the long term holders, who have held the stock as it bled value over the last five years.  In fact, the share price has tumbled down a mountain to land 75% lower after that period.  It's true that the recent bounce could signal the company is turning over a new leaf, but we are not so sure.  The million dollar question is whether the company can justify a long term recovery.      Given the past week has been tough on shareholders, let's investigate the fundamentals and see what we can learn.   Check out our latest analysis for Creative Technology   Given that Creative Technology 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 expect strong revenue growth.  That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.   In the last half decade, Creative Technology saw its revenue increase by 0.7% per year.   That's not a very high growth rate considering it doesn't make profits.   Nonetheless, it's fair to say the rapidly declining share price (down 12%, compound, over five years) suggests the market is very disappointed with this level of growth.  While we're definitely wary of the stock, after that kind of performance, it could be an over-reaction.  A company like this generally needs to produce profits before it can find favour with new investors.       The graphic below depicts how earnings and revenue have changed over time (unveil the exact values by clicking on the image). SGX:C76 Earnings and Revenue Growth December 5th 2023 Balance sheet strength is crucial. It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on how its financial position has changed over time.  A Different Perspective While the broader market lost about 1.7% in the twelve months, Creative Technology shareholders did even worse, losing 12%.  However, it could simply be that the share price has been impacted by broader market jitters. It might be worth keeping an eye on the fundamentals, in case there's a good opportunity.    Unfortunately, longer term shareholders are suffering worse, given the loss of 12% doled out over the last five years.  We would want clear information suggesting the company will grow, before taking the view that the share price will stabilize.       It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Creative Technology better, we need to consider many other factors.
