Wisr Limited (ASX:WZR) shareholders have seen the share price descend 19% over the month. But over three years the performance has been really wonderful. Indeed, the share price is up a whopping 983% in that time. As long term investors the recent fall doesn't detract all that much from the longer term story. The only way to form a view of whether the current price is justified is to consider the merits of the business itself.

It really delights us to see such great share price performance for investors.

Given that Wisr 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. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

Wisr's revenue trended up 42% each year over three years. That's much better than most loss-making companies. In light of this attractive revenue growth, it seems somewhat appropriate that the share price has been rocketing, boasting a gain of 121% per year, over the same period. It's always tempting to take profits after a share price gain like that, but high-growth companies like Wisr can sometimes sustain strong growth for many years. In fact, it might be time to put it on your watchlist, if you're not already familiar with the stock.

A Different Perspective

Wisr shareholders are up 13% for the year. Unfortunately this falls short of the market return. If we look back over five years, the returns are even better, coming in at 48% per year for five years. It may well be that this is a business worth popping on the watching, given the continuing positive reception, over time, from the market. 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.
