The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit

Importantly, our data indicates that Bemobi Mobile Tech's profit received a boost of R$6.4m in unusual items, over the last year. We can't deny that higher profits generally leave us optimistic, but we'd prefer it if the profit were to be sustainable. We ran the numbers on most publicly listed companies worldwide, and it's very common for unusual items to be once-off in nature. Which is hardly surprising, given the name. Assuming those unusual items don't show up again in the current year, we'd thus expect profit to be weaker next year (in the absence of business growth, that is).

At the end of the day, it's essential to consider more than just the factors above, if you want to understand the company properly.
