On the stock market since 1995, it operates in electricity, water and gas. It has 29 employees. Now — the numbers.
The company closed last year at a loss: costs ran above sales. The picture changes only if spending is reined in.
An average decline of 7% a year over the last 4 years — the most striking risk in this picture. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.
Before the clock runs out, either sales must climb sharply or new money must come in. For now, time is on the company’s side.
The stock trades 42% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.
Over the last 12 months, company executives reported 4 buys and 0 sells. Management buying with its own money is usually read as a good sign.
It pays out $0.23 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.
A loss of $2.1M against $33.9M in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.
Since the drop from its peak, buyer appetite hasn’t come back.
On our five-subject report card, ELLO sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”
The takeaway: ELLO is a small company that closed last year at a loss. The road back to profit runs through spending discipline.
