ASX:KAS Income Statement Dec 18th 17
Additionally, we can assess Kasbah Resources’s loss by looking at what’s going on in the industry on top of within the company. First, I want to quickly look into the line items. Revenue growth over the last few years has been negative at -38.96%. The key to profitability here is to make sure the company’s cost growth is well-managed. Eyeballing growth from a sector-level, the Australian metals and mining industry has been growing, albeit, at a muted single-digit rate of 7.36% in the past year, and 8.50% over the past five. This means any tailwind the industry is deriving benefit from, Kasbah Resources has not been able to reap as much as its industry peers.
What does this mean?
Kasbah Resources’s track record can be a valuable insight into its earnings performance, but it certainly doesn’t tell the whole story. Companies that incur net loss is always difficult to predict what will happen in the future and when. The most valuable step is to assess company-specific issues Kasbah Resources may be facing and whether management guidance has consistently been met in the past.
