Given that Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings 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. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. 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 3 years Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings saw its revenue grow at 39% per year. That's well above most pre-profit companies. Meanwhile, the share price performance has been pretty solid at 49% compound over three years. This suggests the market has recognized the progress the business has made, at least to a significant degree. That's not to say we think the share price is too high. In fact, it might be worth keeping an eye on this one.
