Winston Score History

The full picture

TerraCom Limited is an Australian coal mining company that digs up and sells thermal coal — the type of coal used to generate electricity. Its main asset is the Blair Athol coal mine in Queensland, Australia, and it sells coal primarily to power producers in Asia, including markets like South Korea and India. The company is small, with a market value of around $100 million Australian dollars.

TerraCom earns money by selling coal by the tonne to industrial and energy customers, so its revenue rises and falls with global coal prices. It operates mainly in Australia but depends heavily on export demand from Asian buyers. The company's financials are currently under significant pressure — it is losing money at the gross and operating level, and its returns on capital are deeply negative, which signals the business is spending more than it earns. The key risk is that weak coal prices, combined with a high-cost operating structure, could continue to strain the company's ability to stay profitable.

Revenue declining

TerraCom Limited's revenue is actually shrinking. In a growth stock, that removes the core investment thesis. The low Winston Score here may be warranted — unless there's a turnaround story.

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.
