Yahoo Finance Cettire's (ASX:CTT) investors will be pleased with their incredible 616% return over the last year
Cettire Limited (ASX:CTT) shareholders have seen the share price descend 21% over the month. But that cannot eclipse the spectacular share price rise we've seen over the last twelve months. In that time, shareholders have had the pleasure of a 616% boost to the share price. So it is not that surprising to see the stock retrace a little. While winners often keep winning, it can pay to be cautious after a strong rise. It really delights us to see such great share price performance for investors.
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.

Cettire isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one does expect good top-line growth.
In the last year Cettire saw its revenue grow by 304%. That's well above most other pre-profit companies. But the share price has really rocketed in response gaining 616% as previously mentioned. Despite the strong growth, it's certainly possible the market has gotten a little over-excited. So this looks like a great watchlist candidate for investors who look for high growth inflexion points.
