Commentary On TUO’s Past Performance
I use the ‘latest twelve-month’ data, which annualizes the latest 6-month earnings release, or some times, the latest annual report is already the most recent financial data. This method enables me to examine different companies on a more comparable basis, using new information. Teuton Resources’s latest twelve-month earnings is CA$2M, which, in comparison to last year’s level, has moved up by an impressive 94.65%. Given that these figures are relatively short-term thinking, I’ve estimated an annualized five-year value for Teuton Resources’s earnings, which stands at -CA$1M. This means that, on average, Teuton Resources has been able to consistently raise its bottom line over the last couple of years as well.
What’s the driver of this growth? Let’s see if it is solely owing to an industry uplift, or if Teuton Resources has seen some company-specific growth. Scanning growth from a sector-level, the Canadian metals and mining industry has been ramping up average earnings growth of 60.80% in the previous year, and a robust 11.97% over the previous few years. This means that whatever tailwind the industry is profiting from, Teuton Resources is capable of leveraging this to its advantage.
