ASX:MGT Income Statement Nov 29th 17
We can further examine Magnetite Mines’s loss by researching what has been happening in the industry as well as within the company. Initially, I want to briefly look into the line items. Revenue growth over last few years has increased by 43.73%, signalling that Magnetite Mines is in a high-growth period with expenses shooting ahead of elevated top-line growth rates. Inspecting growth from a sector-level, the Australian metals and mining industry has been growing, albeit, at a muted single-digit rate of 6.76% in the previous twelve months, and a substantial 11.86% over the past five. This means whatever uplift the industry is enjoying, Magnetite Mines has not been able to gain as much as its average peer.
What does this mean?
Though Magnetite Mines’s past data is helpful, it is only one aspect of my investment thesis. With companies that are currently loss-making, it is always hard to envisage what will occur going forward, and when. The most insightful step is to examine company-specific issues Magnetite Mines may be facing and whether management guidance has steadily been met in the past.
