We can further assess Shree Minerals’s loss by researching what has been happening in the industry along with within the company. Firstly, I want to briefly look into the line items. Revenue growth over past few years has grew by 12.88%, implying that Shree Minerals is in a high-growth period with expenses shooting ahead of elevated top-line growth rates. Eyeballing growth from a sector-level, the Australian metals and mining industry has been growing, albeit, at a subdued single-digit rate of 6.76% in the prior twelve months, and a substantial 11.86% over the previous five years. This suggests that any tailwind the industry is deriving benefit from, Shree Minerals has not been able to leverage it as much as its industry peers.
What does this mean?
Shree Minerals’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 forecast what will occur going forward, and when. The most valuable step is to examine company-specific issues Shree Minerals may be facing and whether management guidance has regularly been met in the past.
