Given that CVD Equipment 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. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one does expect good top-line growth.
CVD Equipment actually saw its revenue drop by 2.0% per year over three years. So the share price gain of 27% per year is quite surprising. It's fair to say shareholders are definitely counting on a bright future.

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. Like risks, for instance.
