Imagine Holding Tesserent (ASX:TNT) Shares While The Price Zoomed 314% Higher

Tesserent Limited (ASX:TNT) shareholders might understandably be very concerned that the share price has dropped 32% in the last quarter. 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 314% boost to the share price. So the recent fall isn't enough to negate the good performance. Of course, winners often do keep winning, so there may be more gains to come (if the business fundamentals stack up).

Check out our latest analysis for Tesserent

Tesserent wasn't profitable in the last twelve months, it is unlikely we'll see a strong correlation between its share price and its earnings per share (EPS). Arguably revenue is our next best option. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit.

Over the last twelve months, Tesserent's revenue grew by 459%. That's well above most other pre-profit companies. But the share price has really rocketed in response gaining 314% 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.

A Different Perspective

It's good to see that Tesserent has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 314% in the last twelve months. That gain is better than the annual TSR over five years, which is 4%. Therefore it seems like sentiment around the company has been positive lately. Someone with an optimistic perspective could view the recent improvement in TSR as indicating that the business itself is getting better with time. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Tesserent better, we need to consider many other factors.
