In 2023, CENT generated $3.31B in revenue, which was a decrease of -0.85% from the previous year. This can be seen as a signal that CENT's business is declining, and its share price could be worth less in the future. However, if the company grows faster (or slower) than expected, this could also have a major impact on the future share price.
