Winston Score History

The full picture

Cokal Limited is an Australian coal mining company focused on producing coking coal, also called metallurgical coal. Coking coal is a key ingredient used to make steel, and Cokal sells primarily to steel producers in Asia. The company's main asset is the BBM project in Indonesia, where it is working to develop and expand coal production.

Cokal earns revenue by mining and selling coking coal directly to buyers, mostly in Asian markets. The company is small, with a market cap around $100 million, and is still in an early stage of ramping up production, which explains its negative profit margins. The biggest risk Cokal faces is its reliance on a single project in Indonesia, meaning any delays, permitting issues, or drops in coking coal prices could significantly hurt the business before it reaches consistent profitability.

Cash watch

Cokal Limited has less than a year of cash at its current burn rate. Growth investors should watch for potential share dilution from future fundraising — that directly reduces your ownership.

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.
