It's common for many investors, especially those who are inexperienced, to buy shares in companies with a good story even if these companies are loss-making. But the reality is that when a company loses money each year, for long enough, its investors will usually take their share of those losses. While a well funded company may sustain losses for years, it will need to generate a profit eventually, or else investors will move on and the company will wither away.

If this kind of company isn't your style, you like companies that generate revenue, and even earn profits, then you may well be interested in Renew Holdings (LON:RNWH). Even if this company is fairly valued by the market, investors would agree that generating consistent profits will continue to provide Renew Holdings with the means to add long-term value to shareholders.
