It is a pleasure to report that the Montana Aerospace AG (VTX:AERO) is up 52% in the last quarter. But that’s not enough to compensate for the decline over the last twelve months. Specifically, the stock price slipped by 53% in that time. It’s not that amazing to see a bounce after a drop like that. It may be that the fall was an overreaction.
Although the past week has been more reassuring for shareholders, they’re still in the red over the last year, so let’s see if the underlying business has been responsible for the decline.

Given that Montana Aerospace 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. When a company doesn’t make profits, we’d generally expect to see good revenue growth. That’s because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.
In the last twelve months, Montana Aerospace increased its revenue by 57%. That’s well above most other pre-profit companies. In contrast the share price is down 53% over twelve months. Yes, the market can be a fickle mistress. Typically a growth stock like this will be volatile, with some shareholders concerned about the red ink on the bottom line (that is, the losses).
