▼(-3.23% Downside)
The score is held back primarily by weak and inconsistent financial performance (minimal/volatile revenue, recent losses, and negative operating/free cash flow), partially offset by a debt-free, stable balance sheet. Technicals are moderately supportive (above key longer-term moving averages with neutral momentum), while valuation is impaired by loss-making earnings (negative P/E) and no stated dividend yield.

How the Company Makes Money

Tanfield Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Overall fundamentals are weak despite a strong balance sheet. Revenue is extremely small and volatile, profitability swung from a one-off strong 2022 to sizable losses in 2023–2024, and operating/free cash flow turned negative again in 2023–2024 (cash burn). The key offset is zero debt and a stable equity base, which provides financial flexibility but does not solve the lack of a durable earnings engine.
Income Statement
18
Very Negative
Revenue is extremely small and volatile, with a sharp decline in 2024 versus 2023 and a one-off spike in 2022 that did not repeat. Profitability is weak overall: 2024 and 2023 show meaningful operating and net losses with deeply negative margins, following large profits in 2022. The pattern suggests earnings are not durable and are highly dependent on non-recurring items rather than a stable operating base.
Balance Sheet
72
Positive
The balance sheet is a relative strength: the company reports zero total debt in 2022–2024 and maintains a large equity base and stable asset levels. However, returns on equity have turned negative again in 2023–2024, indicating the capital base is not currently generating profits, which limits the quality of the balance-sheet strength.
Cash Flow
25
Negative
Cash generation is weak in the most recent years, with operating cash flow and free cash flow both negative in 2023 and 2024, implying ongoing cash burn. While 2022 showed strong positive cash flow, the reversal back to outflows reduces confidence in consistency and indicates funding needs may persist if losses continue.
