Yahoo Finance Blue Foundry Bancorp (NASDAQ:BLFY) shareholders have endured a 11% loss from investing in the stock a year ago
It's understandable if you feel frustrated when a stock you own sees a lower share price. But sometimes a share price fall can have more to do with market conditions than the performance of the specific business. Over the year the Blue Foundry Bancorp (NASDAQ:BLFY) share price fell 11%. However, that's better than the market's overall decline of 12%. Blue Foundry Bancorp hasn't been listed for long, so although we're wary of recent listings that perform poorly, it may still prove itself with time.
With that in mind, it's worth seeing if the company's underlying fundamentals have been the driver of long term performance, or if there are some discrepancies.

Because Blue Foundry Bancorp 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. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth.
