Winston Score History

The full picture

Largo Inc. is a Canadian mining and materials company that digs vanadium out of the ground and processes it into usable products. Vanadium is a metal used mainly to strengthen steel and, increasingly, to store energy in large batteries called vanadium redox flow batteries. Largo operates one of the highest-grade vanadium mines in the world, located in Maracás, Brazil.

The company earns money by selling vanadium pentoxide and other vanadium chemicals to steel producers and energy storage customers. It also has a clean energy division, Largo Clean Energy, that sells vanadium-based battery systems for grid-scale power storage. Largo operates primarily in Brazil with sales reaching customers in North America, Europe, and Asia. The negative margins shown here reflect ongoing losses as the clean energy segment is still early-stage and vanadium prices have been weak. The key risk is that vanadium commodity prices are volatile and largely outside the company's control.

Revenue accelerating

Largo grew revenue 68% year-over-year and the growth rate is speeding up. That's the kind of momentum growth investors look for — the question is whether margins can follow.

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.
