5 Canadian Stocks with Large Cash Flows, Small Net Losses

Published:

When you generate large amounts of cash flow from operations and have a small net loss, it could be a sign of future growth for the Canadian stocks on our list

SmallCapPower | November 25, 2016: When there is a net loss that is just on the negative side and a substantially larger positive cash inflow from operations, you can assume that there may be some accounting rule being used to post that negative income for tax purposes. The reason a company might do that is for a tax loss carry forward, which can then be used to reduce the amount of income it pays taxes on when it starts generating an accounting profit. This will help to increase its net earnings and the amount of cash that the company keeps, allowing the company to instead invest that money back into its operations to further accelerate its growth, ultimately helping to increase its value. That being said, the Canadian stocks on our list today are all operating just on the side of a net loss, but with large cash flows from operations could be in that situation.
