It is a pleasure to report that the WalkMe Ltd. (NASDAQ:WKME) is up 31% in the last quarter. But that is minimal compensation for the share price under-performance over the last year. In fact the stock is down 33% in the last year, well below the market return.
The recent uptick of 13% could be a positive sign of things to come, so let's take a look at historical fundamentals.

WalkMe isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.
In the last twelve months, WalkMe increased its revenue by 30%. That's definitely a respectable growth rate. Unfortunately that wasn't good enough to stop the share price dropping 33%. You might even wonder if the share price was previously over-hyped. But if revenue keeps growing, then at a certain point the share price would likely follow.

A Different Perspective
WalkMe shareholders are down 33% for the year, even worse than the market loss of 8.1%. That's disappointing, but it's worth keeping in mind that the market-wide selling wouldn't have helped. Putting aside the last twelve months, it's good to see the share price has rebounded by 31%, in the last ninety days. This could just be a bounce because the selling was too aggressive, but fingers crossed it's the start of a new trend. 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.
