Where Strategic Minerals Corporation NL (ASX:SMC) Stands In Terms Of Earnings Growth Against Its Industry

Publié le 22 décembre 2017

ASX:SMC Income Statement Dec 22nd 17

We can further analyze Strategic Minerals’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 the past couple of years has been negative at -24.08%. 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 unexciting single-digit rate of 7.36% over the past year, and 8.50% over the past five. This shows that, despite the fact that Strategic Minerals is currently loss-making, it may have been aided by industry tailwinds, moving earnings in the right direction.

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 envisage what will happen in the future and when. The most useful step is to examine company-specific issues Strategic Minerals may be facing and whether management guidance has steadily been met in the past.
