While its revenue is projected to grow significantly at 52.06% annually, profitability remains elusive in the near term.

Operations: The company's revenue is primarily derived from Geotechnical Solutions (€859.82 million), Equipment (€593.92 million), and Resources (€248.52 million).

Market Cap: €167.85M

BAUER Aktiengesellschaft, with a market cap of €167.85 million, has recently turned profitable, marking a significant shift in its financial trajectory. Its revenue streams are well-diversified across Geotechnical Solutions (€859.82 million), Equipment (€593.92 million), and Resources (€248.52 million). Despite stable weekly volatility and reduced debt levels over the past five years, challenges remain with high net debt to equity (62.7%) and insufficient interest coverage by EBIT (2x). However, short-term assets exceed both short-term (€927.2M) and long-term liabilities (€276.6M), indicating a solid liquidity position as it forecasts 38.25% annual earnings growth.
