ClearPoint Neuro (NASDAQ:CLPT) shareholders have earned a 26% CAGR over the last five years

The worst result, after buying shares in a company (assuming no leverage), would be if you lose all the money you put in. But on the bright side, you can make far more than 100% on a really good stock. Long term ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:CLPT) shareholders would be well aware of this, since the stock is up 217% in five years. And in the last month, the share price has gained 12%. But this could be related to good market conditions -- stocks in its market are up 7.5% in the last month.

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.

Given that ClearPoint Neuro 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. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong 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.

For the last half decade, ClearPoint Neuro can boast revenue growth at a rate of 22% per year. Even measured against other revenue-focussed companies, that's a good result. Meanwhile, its share price performance certainly reflects the strong growth, given the share price grew at 26% per year, compound, during the period. This suggests the market has well and truly recognized the progress the business has made. To our minds that makes ClearPoint Neuro worth investigating - it may have its best days ahead.
