Share count rising — dilution

+4.5% over 4y

The company has issued more shares over this period, which dilutes each existing shareholder’s stake.

Diluted shares outstanding: 5.5M (2021) → 5.8M (2025)

Immuron Limited is a small Australian biotechnology company that makes medicines using antibodies found in cow colostrum — the nutrient-rich milk produced right after a calf is born. Its main product, Travelan, is an over-the-counter tablet that helps protect travelers from getting sick with diarrhea caused by bacteria like E. coli. The company also has research programs focused on other gut-related infections and inflammatory conditions.

Immuron earns money by selling Travelan directly to consumers and through pharmacies, primarily in Australia, the United States, and Canada. It is a very small company with a market cap under $50 million, and its competitive edge comes from a patented process for producing targeted bovine antibodies, which is difficult for competitors to easily copy. However, the company spends significantly more than it earns, reflected in its deeply negative operating margin, so its biggest risk is running out of cash before it can grow Travelan sales or advance its pipeline products to a meaningful scale.

Strong grower

Immuron Limited is growing revenue at 29% year-over-year. The Winston Score penalises unprofitable companies, but revenue at this pace tells a different story — this is a company still in "build mode."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
