The Vection Technologies (ASX:VR1) Share Price Has Soared 420%, Delighting Many Shareholders
While Vection Technologies Limited (ASX:VR1) shareholders are probably generally happy, the stock hasn't had particularly good run recently, with the share price falling 16% in the last quarter. But that isn't a problem when you consider how the share price has soared over the last year. Indeed, the share price is up a whopping 420% in that time. So it is not that surprising to see the stock retrace a little. Of course, winners often do keep winning, so there may be more gains to come (if the business fundamentals stack up).

Vection Technologies 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.
In the last year Vection Technologies saw its revenue grow by 129%. That's well above most other pre-profit companies. But the share price has really rocketed in response gaining 420% as previously mentioned. Even the most bullish shareholders might be thinking that the share price might drop back a bit, after a gain like that. So this looks like a great watchlist candidate for investors who look for high growth inflexion points.
