Always look at these factors

Cash flow from operating activities
Cash flow from investing activities (specifically capital expenditures)
Dividend payouts
Borrowing (paying back of debt)
Issuing (stock buybacks)

Cash on the Balance Sheet / AP
Cash / CL
Cash/TL
CA/TL
CA/CL
PE

I find revenue to be a chase indicator; it really doesn't say much about the future. I like PE between 10-16 but never above twice the growth rate. That means, for a biotech stock, it might be okay to have a PE of a stock of 28, if its growth rate (capital expenditures and sales) is greater than or equal to 16%. Good luck investing.
