Duos Technologies Group (NASDAQ:DUOT) shareholder returns have been favorable, earning 92% in 1 year
If you want to compound wealth in the stock market, you can do so by buying an index fund. But if you pick the right individual stocks, you could make more than that. For example, the Duos Technologies Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:DUOT) share price is up 92% in the last 1 year, clearly besting the market return of around 15% (not including dividends). If it can keep that out-performance up over the long term, investors will do very well! Also impressive, the stock is up 57% over three years, making long term shareholders happy, too.
After a strong gain in the past week, it's worth seeing if longer term returns have been driven by improving fundamentals.

Given that Duos Technologies Group 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. 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.
Duos Technologies Group grew its revenue by 115% last year. That's a head and shoulders above most loss-making companies. The solid 92% share price gain goes down pretty well, but it's not necessarily as good as you might expect given the top notch revenue growth. If that's the case, now might be the time to take a close look at Duos Technologies Group. Since we evolved from monkeys, we think in linear terms by nature. So if growth goes exponential, opportunity may exist for the enlightened.
