C79 - Chrysos Corporation

Its an interesting one, @Dona Ferentes, on face value the 4C looks terrible, continuation of revenue growth with no sign of any of it flowing to the bottom line. When you look thru the numbers though, the problems are the high staff costs and massive capex spend. So there may be a point where it does start to scale, just depends how and when the capex spend drops and whether the staff costs are relatively fixed as revenue scales up.

You question is exactly right IMO, whether or not they can start "making it back", will be the indicator of whether or not its an investible business. Stays on the watch list for now!
It would be an intensive and costly set of operations to install and optimise operations, on locations throughout the world.

Yeah, not a good look, such a tell when all your messaging is about bull**** Earnings (EBITDA), sure enough if you go to the only place they mention actual earnings, the financial statements, they made a loss again!

I was following this but the deliberate hiding of real results is too much of a red flag for me, off the watchlist!
