Winston Score History

The full picture

Carnegie Clean Energy is an Australian company that develops technology to generate electricity from ocean waves. Its main product is the CETO wave energy system, which sits underwater and converts the movement of waves into usable power. The company targets remote communities, island nations, and defense installations that need reliable, off-grid clean energy.

Carnegie earns revenue primarily through government grants, research contracts, and project development work rather than large-scale commercial sales. It operates mainly in Australia, with some international project interest, and remains a small, early-stage company with a market cap around $100 million. The deeply negative margins reflect the reality that wave energy technology is still pre-commercial, meaning Carnegie spends far more than it earns. The key risk is whether the company can secure enough funding and partnerships to bring its technology to commercial scale before its cash runs out, as wave energy has historically struggled to compete on cost with solar and wind.

Strong grower

Carnegie Clean Energy Limited is growing revenue at 72% year-over-year. The Winston Score penalises unprofitable companies, but revenue at this pace tells a different story — this is a company still in "build mode."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
