Yahoo Finance Investing in Intapp (NASDAQ:INTA) a year ago would have delivered you a 53% gain
The simplest way to invest in stocks is to buy exchange traded funds. But investors can boost returns by picking market-beating companies to own shares in. For example, the Intapp, Inc. (NASDAQ:INTA) share price is up 53% in the last 1 year, clearly besting the market decline of around 9.2% (not including dividends). If it can keep that out-performance up over the long term, investors will do very well! We'll need to follow Intapp for a while to get a better sense of its share price trend, since it hasn't been listed for particularly long.
Let's take a look at the underlying fundamentals over the longer term, and see if they've been consistent with shareholders returns.

Given that Intapp 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. 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, Intapp's revenue grew by 27%. We respect that sort of growth, no doubt. Buyers pushed the share price 53% in response, which isn't unreasonable. If revenue stays on trend, there may be plenty more share price gains to come. But it's crucial to check profitability and cash flow before forming a view on the future.

A Different Perspective
Intapp shareholders should be happy with the total gain of 53% over the last twelve months. And the share price momentum remains respectable, with a gain of 29% in the last three months.
