Opportunity
  • Has sufficient cash runway for more than 3 years based on current free cash flows.

Because Envictus International Holdings made a loss in the last twelve months, we think the market is probably more focussed on revenue and revenue growth, at least for now. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

In the last 3 years Envictus International Holdings saw its revenue grow at 4.1% per year. Considering the company is losing money, we think that rate of revenue growth is uninspiring. In comparison, the share price rise of 30% per year over the last three years is pretty impressive. Shareholders should be pretty happy with that, although interested investors might want to examine the financial data more closely to see if the gains are really justified. It may be that the market is pretty optimistic about Envictus International Holdings if you look to the bottom line.

It's good to see that there was some significant insider buying in the last three months. That's a positive. That said, we think earnings and revenue growth trends are even more important factors to consider.

A Different Perspective

It's nice to see that Envictus International Holdings shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 70% over the last year. That certainly beats the loss of about 3% per year over the last half decade. This makes us a little wary, but the business might have turned around its fortunes. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Envictus International Holdings better, we need to consider many other factors.
