Angus Energy plc (LON:ANGS) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 25% in the last quarter. But that doesn't undermine the rather lovely longer-term return, if you measure over the last three years. In three years the stock price has launched 115% higher: a great result. So the recent fall in the share price should be viewed in that context. The fundamental business performance will ultimately dictate whether the top is in, or if this is a stellar buying opportunity.
So let's investigate and see if the longer term performance of the company has been in line with the underlying business' progress.

Because Angus Energy made a loss in the last twelve months, we think the market is probably more focussed on revenue and revenue growth, at least for now. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.
Angus Energy's revenue trended up 145% each year over three years. That's much better than most loss-making companies. Along the way, the share price gained 29% per year, a solid pop by our standards. This suggests the market has recognized the progress the business has made, at least to a significant degree. Nonetheless, we'd say Angus Energy is still worth investigating - successful businesses can often keep growing for long periods.
