Comet Ridge

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Comet Ridge Limited is involved in oil and gas exploration, appraisal, and development activities in Australia with a market cap of A$161.03 million.

Operations: Comet Ridge Limited does not report any specific revenue segments.

Market Cap: A$161.03M

Comet Ridge Limited, with a market cap of A$161.03 million, remains pre-revenue and unprofitable, reporting a net loss of A$7.17 million for the year ending June 2024. Despite stable weekly volatility at 7%, the company faces challenges as short-term assets (A$18.5M) do not cover short-term liabilities (A$36.4M). However, it has more cash than total debt and recently raised A$12.03 million through equity offerings to bolster its cash runway beyond four months based on free cash flow estimates. Analysts are optimistic about future price appreciation by 77.6%, though profitability is not expected in the near term.
