Luminar Technologies (NASDAQ:LAZR) Shareholders Have Endured a 56% Loss From Investing in the Stock a Year Ago
Investing in stocks comes with the risk that the share price will fall. And there's no doubt that Luminar Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:LAZR) stock has had a really bad year. To wit the share price is down 56% in that time. At least the damage isn't so bad if you look at the last three years, since the stock is down 24% in that time. The falls have accelerated recently, with the share price down 12% in the last three months. This could be related to the recent financial results - you can catch up on the most recent data by reading our company report.
Since shareholders are down over the longer term, lets look at the underlying fundamentals over the that time and see if they've been consistent with returns.
Check out our latest analysis for Luminar Technologies
Luminar Technologies wasn't profitable in the last twelve months, it is unlikely we'll see a strong correlation between its share price and its earnings per share (EPS). Arguably revenue is our next best option. 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.
In the last twelve months, Luminar Technologies increased its revenue by 90%. That's a strong result which is better than most other loss making companies. In contrast the share price is down 56% 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). 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.

That said, we think earnings and revenue growth trends are even more important factors to consider.

A Different Perspective
The last twelve months weren't great for Luminar Technologies shares, which performed worse than the market, costing holders 56%. The market shed around 17%, no doubt weighing on the stock price. The three-year loss of 7% per year isn't as bad as the last twelve months, suggesting that the company has not been able to convince the market it has solved its problems. We would be wary of buying into a company with unsolved problems, although some investors will buy into struggling stocks if they believe the price is sufficiently attractive. 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.
