Income Statement
78
Positive
Ventia Services Group Limited has shown a strong revenue growth trend with a significant increase from 2019 to 2024. The Gross Profit Margin remained robust, particularly in the latest year with a notable improvement. Despite a strong EBITDA margin, the EBIT margin for 2024 is not available, suggesting potential cost management challenges.

Balance Sheet
65
Positive
The company's Debt-to-Equity Ratio is relatively high but has improved over the years, indicating a reduction in leverage. The Return on Equity (ROE) has been positive and improved significantly, showcasing effective use of equity to generate profits. The Equity Ratio, however, remains low, suggesting that the company is heavily reliant on debt financing, posing a risk if earnings do not remain strong.
