ASX:CDU Income Statement Nov 30th 17
Additionally, we can evaluate CuDeco’s loss by researching what has been happening in the industry on top of within the company. Initially, I want to briefly look into the line items. Revenue growth over past couple of years has rose by 55.46%, indicating that CuDeco is in a high-growth phase with expenses shooting ahead of high top-line growth rates. Scanning growth from a sector-level, the Australian metals and mining industry has been growing, albeit, at a unexciting single-digit rate of 6.76% over the past year, and a substantial 11.86% over the past couple of years. This means that any uplift the industry is benefiting from, CuDeco has not been able to realize the gains unlike its industry peers.
What does this mean?
While past data is useful, it doesn’t tell the whole story. Companies that incur net loss is always hard to forecast what will happen in the future and when. The most useful step is to examine company-specific issues CuDeco may be facing and whether management guidance has steadily been met in the past.
