Has Nanoco Group plc (LON:NANO) Improved Earnings Growth In Recent Times?
For investors with a long-term horizon, assessing earnings trend over time and against industry benchmarks is more valuable than looking at a single earnings announcement in one point in time. Investors may find my commentary, albeit very high-level and brief, on Nanoco Group plc (LSE:NANO) useful as an attempt to give more color around how Nanoco Group is currently performing.

Were NANO's earnings stronger than its past performances and the industry?
To account for any quarterly or half-yearly updates, I use data from the most recent 12 months, which either annualizes the most recent 6-month earnings update, or in some cases, the most recent annual report is already the latest available financial data. This allows me to assess many different companies in a uniform manner using the latest information. For Nanoco Group, its most recent earnings (trailing twelve month) is -UK£9.11M, which, relative to the prior year's figure, has become less negative. Since these figures are somewhat short-term, I have computed an annualized five-year figure for Nanoco Group's earnings, which stands at -UK£6.67M. This suggests that, Nanoco Group has historically performed better than recently, while it seems like earnings are now heading back towards a more favorable position once more.
What does this mean?
Though Nanoco Group's past data is helpful, it is only one aspect of my investment thesis. With companies that are currently loss-making, it is always difficult to envisage what will happen in the future and when. The most useful step is to assess company-specific issues Nanoco Group may be facing and whether management guidance has consistently been met in the past.
