Does Batla Minerals SA’s (EPA:MLBAT) -70.90% Earnings Drop Reflect A Longer Term Trend?

On March 09 2018

ENXTPA:MLBAT Income Statement Mar 9th 18

What’s enabled this growth? Let’s take a look at whether it is only a result of an industry uplift, or if Batla Minerals has experienced some company-specific growth. Over the last couple of years, Batla Minerals grew its bottom line faster than revenue by successfully controlling its costs. This resulted in a margin expansion and profitability over time. Inspecting growth from a sector-level, the FR metals and mining industry has been enduring some headwinds over the previous few years, leading to an average earnings drop of -13.45% in the most recent year. This suggests that any headwind the industry is experiencing, it’s hitting Batla Minerals harder than its peers.

What does this mean?
