ASX:EVE Income Statement Dec 21st 17
Additionally, we can examine EVE Investments’s loss by looking at what’s going on in the industry on top of within the company. Initially, I want to quickly look into the line items. Revenue growth over the past couple of years has been somewhat soft, remaining flat on average at 0.62%. Given that top-line growth is also pretty flat, the key to profitability in the future would be managing cost growth rates. Looking at growth from a sector-level, the Australian capital markets industry has been growing, albeit, at a unexciting single-digit rate of 3.16% in the prior twelve months, and 8.12% over the previous five years. This shows that whatever near-term headwind the industry is experiencing, it’s hitting EVE Investments harder than its peers.
What does this mean?
EVE Investments’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 difficult to predict what will happen in the future and when. The most insightful step is to examine company-specific issues EVE Investments may be facing and whether management guidance has regularly been met in the past.
