Yahoo Finance Shareholders in D-Market Elektronik Hizmetler ve Ticaret (NASDAQ:HEPS) are in the red if they invested a year ago
D-Market Elektronik Hizmetler ve Ticaret A.S. (NASDAQ:HEPS) shareholders should be happy to see the share price up 14% in the last month. But that hardly compensates for the shocking decline over the last twelve months. Specifically, the stock price nose-dived 89% in that time. So it's not that amazing to see a bit of a bounce. The bigger issue is whether the company can sustain the momentum in the long term. We really hope anyone holding through that price crash has a diversified portfolio. Even when you lose money, you don't have to lose the lesson.
Now let's have a look at the company's fundamentals, and see if the long term shareholder return has matched the performance of the underlying business.

Because D-Market Elektronik Hizmetler ve Ticaret 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. 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.
In the last twelve months, D-Market Elektronik Hizmetler ve Ticaret increased its revenue by 26%. We think that is pretty nice growth. However, it seems like the market wanted more, since the share price is down 89%. One fear might be that the company might be losing too much money and will need to raise more. It seems that the market has concerns about the future, because that share price action does not seem to reflect the revenue growth at all.

A Different Perspective
We doubt D-Market Elektronik Hizmetler ve Ticaret shareholders are happy with the loss of 89% over twelve months. That falls short of the market, which lost 11%. There's no doubt that's a disappointment, but the stock may well have fared better in a stronger market. With the stock down 29% over the last three months, the market doesn't seem to believe that the company has solved all its problems. Basically, most investors should be wary of buying into a poor-performing stock, unless the business itself has clearly improved. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand D-Market Elektronik Hizmetler ve Ticaret better, we need to consider many other factors.
