Jumia 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. 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.
Jumia Technologies grew its revenue by 3.9% over the last year. That’s not a very high growth rate considering it doesn’t make profits. Given this lacklustre revenue growth, the share price drop of 16% seems pretty appropriate. In a hot market it’s easy to forget growth is the life-blood of a loss making company. So remember, if you buy a profitless company then you risk being a profitless investor.
