The Bubs Australia Ltd (ASX: BUB) share price is down 4.1% at the time of writing, having earlier posted losses of more than 5.5%.

What are ASX investors considering?
After posting gains for the last three trading days, the Bubs share price is heading in the other direction today.
That's despite the company reporting record gross revenue of $104.2 million in FY22, up 123% from the prior year.
Investors may be questioning the long-term sustainability of that revenue increase, however. As The Motley Fool reported earlier today, gross revenue rocketed during the second half of the financial year, when the United States was running short of infant formula.
Bubs was able to partner with major US retailers to sell its formula in the US. This helped drive a 202% increase in the company's international sales from the prior year.
But with US formula producers returning to full production, investors may be pondering the uncertainty around future sales growth in that key market.
The Bubs share price also could be under some pressure as the company is still loss-making. Though, the loss after tax fell to $11.4 million in FY22, down from $74.7 million in FY21.
While management flagged earnings growth for FY23, without offering specifics, in an era of higher interest rates, future earnings come with a higher present cost. Hence ASX growth shares have more broadly come under pressure this year.
