Analysis
As an investor researching ANAVEX LIFE SCIENCES, I used GoodWhale’s Star Chart to analyze its fundamentals. The Star Chart classified ANAVEX LIFE SCIENCES as an ‘elephant’, which means it is a company that is rich in assets after deducting off liabilities. This type of company is likely to attract investors who are interested in long-term investments and capital appreciation. GoodWhale also provides a health score of 4/10 for ANAVEX LIFE SCIENCES, taking into account its cashflows and debt. This indicates that the company has an intermediate health score, meaning that it is likely to sustain future operations in times of crisis. However, GoodWhale’s Star Chart also showed that while ANAVEX LIFE SCIENCES is strong in asset, it is weak in dividend, growth, and profitability. This means that investing in this company is probably not the best choice for investors who are seeking to receive high returns in the short-term. More…
