Freshpet isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one does expect good top-line growth.
Over the last three years Freshpet has grown its revenue at 21% annually. That's much better than most loss-making companies. In light of this attractive revenue growth, it seems somewhat appropriate that the share price has been rocketing, boasting a gain of 78% per year, over the same period. Despite the strong run, top performers like Freshpet have been known to go on winning for decades. In fact, it might be time to put it on your watchlist, if you're not already familiar with the stock.

A Different Perspective
It's nice to see that Freshpet shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 83% over the last year. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 30% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. In the best case scenario, this may hint at some real business momentum, implying that now could be a great time to delve deeper. Investors who like to make money usually check up on insider purchases, such as the price paid, and total amount bought.
