Yahoo Finance Imagine Owning UP Fintech Holding (NASDAQ:TIGR) And Trying To Stomach The 79% Share Price Drop
Even the best investor on earth makes unsuccessful investments. But it's not unreasonable to try to avoid truly shocking capital losses. It must have been painful to be a UP Fintech Holding Limited (NASDAQ:TIGR) shareholder over the last year, since the stock price plummeted 79% in that time. That'd be enough to make even the strongest stomachs churn. UP Fintech Holding hasn't been listed for long, so although we're wary of recent listings that perform poorly, it may still prove itself with time. Shareholders have had an even rougher run lately, with the share price down 26% in the last 90 days. But this could be related to the weak market, which is down 14% in the same period.
See our latest analysis for UP Fintech Holding
UP Fintech Holding isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. 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 does expect good top-line growth.
UP Fintech Holding grew its revenue by 63% over the last year. That's a strong result which is better than most other loss making companies. So on the face of it we're really surprised to see the share price down 79% over twelve months. There's clearly something unusual going on here such as an acquisition that hasn't delivered expected profits. We'd recommend taking a very close look at the stock (and any available forecasts), before considering a purchase, because the share price is not correlated with the revenue growth, that's for sure. Of course, markets do over-react so share price drop may be too harsh.

A Different Perspective
We doubt UP Fintech Holding shareholders are happy with the loss of 79% over twelve months. That falls short of the market, which lost 3.7%. That's disappointing, but it's worth keeping in mind that the market-wide selling wouldn't have helped. With the stock down 26% over the last three months, the market doesn't seem to believe that the company has solved all its problems. Basically, most investors should be wary of buying into a poor-performing stock, unless the business itself has clearly improved. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand UP Fintech Holding better, we need to consider many other factors.
