Well if you or anyone else wants to go more in depth and research the cash, debt, revenues, P/E and other ratios, NAV, etc, you know where to look, but not a lot of it is any relevance to the MCap.
For me, the losses are the most important next to the MCap, because if a company is losing money then revenues clearly are not enough and it is burning cash. People can easily check how much cash a company has by reading it's RNS, and work out how long that will last from the cash burn figure.
I have put the figures in for losses because many many people keep popping up out of the woodwork asking how AFC can be valued so highly when it's not making any money, and the answer is clear in the figures, neither are any of the companies with MCaps that are multiples of AFC's, it is standard for the sector at this time and only when companies start making profits can we sort out the winners out. AFC should be profitable quickly because it has such low cash burn to start with. The FY 2021 results will hopefully show a profit, we'll have to wait and see.
