But unfortunately, some companies simply don't succeed. Zooming in on an example, the AFC Ajax NV (AMS:AJAX) share price dropped 55% in the last half decade. That's an unpleasant experience for long term holders. \n With that in mind, it's worth seeing if the company's underlying fundamentals have been the driver of long term performance, or if there are some discrepancies. \n See our latest analysis for AFC Ajax \n Given that AFC Ajax 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. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one would hope for good top-line growth to make up for the lack of earnings. \n In the last five years AFC Ajax saw its revenue shrink by 0.9% per year. While far from catastrophic that is not good. With neither profit nor revenue growth, the loss of 9% per year doesn't really surprise us. We don't think anyone is rushing to buy this stock. Ultimately, it may be worth watching - should revenue pick up, the share price might follow. \n You can see how earnings and revenue have changed over time in the image below (click on the chart to see the exact values). \n\n\n\n  ENXTAM:AJAX Earnings and Revenue Growth November 22nd 2024\n \n\n 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. \nA Different Perspective\n AFC Ajax shareholders are down 4.3% for the year, but the market itself is up 8.9%. 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. However, the loss over the last year isn't as bad as the 9% per annum loss investors have suffered over the last half decade. We'd need to see some sustained improvements in the key metrics before we could muster much enthusiasm. 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. Consider risks, for instance. Every company has them, and we've spotted   1 warning sign for AFC Ajax   you should know about. \n If you would prefer to check out another company -- one with potentially superior financials -- then do not miss this free list of companies that have proven they can grow earnings. \nPlease note, the market returns quoted in this article reflect the market weighted average returns of stocks that currently trade on Dutch exchanges.\nHave feedback on this article?
