Because RPMGlobal Holdings made a loss in the last twelve months, we think the market is probably more focussed on revenue and revenue growth, at least for now. 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 5 years RPMGlobal Holdings saw its revenue grow at 4.5% per year. Put simply, that growth rate fails to impress. The modest growth is probably broadly reflected in the share price, which is up 10%, per year over 5 years. We'd be looking for the underlying business to grow revenue a bit faster.

A Different Perspective
It's nice to see that RPMGlobal Holdings shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 59% over the last year. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 10% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. Given the share price momentum remains strong, it might be worth taking a closer look at the stock, lest you miss an opportunity. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand RPMGlobal Holdings better, we need to consider many other factors.
