Despite a low return on equity at 16.7%, the company experienced substantial earnings growth over the past year at 57.6%, outpacing industry averages and reversing a five-year decline trend of 10.8% annually.

Operations: The company's revenue is primarily derived from its CAD/CAM Software segment, generating SEK169.40 million.

Market Cap: SEK648.84M

BIMobject AB, with a market cap of SEK648.84 million, shows potential in the software sector despite current unprofitability. Recent earnings reports indicate revenue growth to SEK43.21 million for Q3 2024 from SEK40.7 million a year prior, though net income decreased significantly to SEK0.161 million from SEK1.86 million. The company benefits from strong financial positioning, with short-term assets of SEK245.6M surpassing both long and short-term liabilities and maintaining more cash than debt. However, challenges include an inexperienced board and management team alongside negative return on equity at -9.89%. Despite these hurdles, BIMobject's cash runway extends beyond three years without significant shareholder dilution recently observed.
