Yahoo Finance TG Therapeutics (NASDAQ:TGTX) adds US$271m to market cap in the past 7 days, though investors from a year ago are still down 64%
This month, we saw the TG Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:TGTX) up an impressive 53%. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last year have been disappointing. Like an arid lake in a warming world, shareholder value has evaporated, with the share price down 64% in that time. It's not that amazing to see a bounce after a drop like that. You could argue that the sell-off was too severe.
The recent uptick of 31% could be a positive sign of things to come, so let's take a lot at historical fundamentals.
See our latest analysis for TG Therapeutics
Because TG Therapeutics 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. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one does expect good top-line growth.
TG Therapeutics grew its revenue by 188% over the last year. That's well above most other pre-profit companies. In contrast the share price is down 64% over twelve months. Yes, the market can be a fickle mistress. This could mean hype has come out of the stock because the bottom line is concerning investors. We'd definitely consider it a positive if the company is trending towards profitability. If you can see that happening, then perhaps consider adding this stock to your watchlist.

A Different Perspective
We regret to report that TG Therapeutics shareholders are down 64% for the year. Unfortunately, that's worse than the broader market decline of 10%. However, it could simply be that the share price has been impacted by broader market jitters. It might be worth keeping an eye on the fundamentals, in case there's a good opportunity. Regrettably, last year's performance caps off a bad run, with the shareholders facing a total loss of 5% per year over five years. Generally speaking long term share price weakness can be a bad sign, though contrarian investors might want to research the stock in hope of a turnaround. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important.
