As a long-term investor, I find it useful to analyze the company’s trend over time in order to estimate whether or not the company is able to meet its goals, and eventually grow sustainably over time.
How CTO fared against its long-term earnings performance and its industry
I prefer to use data from the most recent 12 months, which annualizes the latest 6-month earnings release, or some times, the latest annual report is already the most recent financial data. This blend allows me to examine different stocks on a more comparable basis, using new information. For Citigold, its most recent earnings (trailing twelve month) is -A$6.6M, which, against the previous year’s figure, has become less negative. Since these figures may be relatively short-term, I have created an annualized five-year value for CTO’s net income, which stands at -A$20.9M. This means although net income is negative, it has become less negative over the years.
