If you want to compound wealth in the stock market, you can do so by buying an index fund. But you can significantly boost your returns by picking above-average stocks. For example, the Custom Truck One Source, Inc. (NYSE:CTOS) share price is up 95% in the last 1 year, clearly besting the market return of around 18% (not including dividends). If it can keep that out-performance up over the long term, investors will do very well! However, the longer term returns haven’t been so impressive, with the stock up just 6.2% in the last three years.

After a strong gain in the past week, it’s worth seeing if longer term returns have been driven by improving fundamentals.

Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one would hope for good top-line growth to make up for the lack of earnings.

In the last year Custom Truck One Source saw its revenue grow by 6.2%. That’s not great considering the company is losing money. The modest growth is probably largely reflected in the share price, which is up 95%. While not a huge gain tht seems pretty reasonable. It could be worth keeping an eye on this one, especially if growth accelerates.
