TSXV:GSA Income Statement Dec 8th 17
Additionally, we can assess Groundstar Resources’s loss by looking at what’s going on in the industry as well as within the company. Firstly, I want to quickly look into the line items. Revenue growth over last couple of years has grown by a mere 3.76%. Given that top-line growth is also pretty stale the key to profitability in the future would be managing costs. Eyeballing growth from a sector-level, the Canadian oil, gas and consumable fuels industry has been growing its average earnings by double-digit 11.17% over the past twelve months, and a flatter 0.38% over the previous few years. This suggests that any tailwind the industry is benefiting from, Groundstar Resources has not been able to reap as much as its average peer.
What does this mean?
Groundstar Resources’s track record can be a valuable insight into its earnings performance, but it certainly doesn’t tell the whole story. With companies that are currently loss-making, it is always hard to forecast what will happen in the future and when. The most useful step is to assess company-specific issues Groundstar Resources may be facing and whether management guidance has consistently been met in the past.
