Given that Kinross Gold only made minimal earnings in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue to gauge its business development. Generally speaking, we'd consider a stock like this alongside loss-making companies, simply because the quantum of the profit is so low. For shareholders to have confidence a company will grow profits significantly, it must grow revenue.
In the last 5 years Kinross Gold saw its revenue shrink by 1.0% per year. On the other hand, the share price done the opposite, gaining 15%, compound, each year.
