Here's Why We Think Compañía de Distribución Integral Logista Holdings (BME:LOG) Might Deserve Your Attention Today

The excitement of investing in a company that can reverse its fortunes is a big draw for some speculators, so even companies that have no revenue, no profit, and a record of falling short, can manage to find investors.

A loss-making company is yet to prove itself with profit, and eventually the inflow of external capital may dry up.
