Poor Return on Equity over the past 5 years

Excellent Business Performance over the past 10 years

CGX has been able to maintain profitability in good times and bad. This could mean CGX has an extremely strong business or has the ability to scale down costs when needed. This should be a fairly resilient business, but double check for future sustainability by looking at its Risk Factors in the Annual Report.

CGX has created positive free cash flow for 9 or more of the past 10 years.
