TSXV:SGM Income Statement Mar 7th 18
We can further assess Sutter Gold Mining’s loss by looking at what the industry has been experiencing over the past few years. Each year, for the past five years Sutter Gold Mining has seen its revenue fall by more than half, on average. This adverse movement is a driver of the company’s inability to reach breakeven. Has the entire industry experienced this headwind? Viewing growth from a sector-level, the Canadian metals and mining industry has been growing its average earnings by double-digit 34.88% in the past year, and 16.37% over the past five. This means whatever tailwind the industry is profiting from, Sutter Gold Mining has not been able to gain as much as its average peer.
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 forecast what will happen in the future and when. The most insightful step is to examine company-specific issues Sutter Gold Mining may be facing and whether management guidance has regularly been met in the past.
