Ideally, a company will have growing revenue and growing profits. But even good companies can have a year or two in the red perhaps because they re spending heavily on advertising or on growth, or because they re facing a temporary setback. And younger, smaller companies may run many losses in their early years. So unprofitability isn t necessarily a deal-breaker, but it s best to focus your dollars on companies that are reliably profitable.
With any possible investment, study its financial reports: Check whether it s gaining or losing market share, how strong its competitive advantages are, and whether its future seems promising.

Motley Fool: NextEra is one of the safest ways to invest in wind energy
Plus: What is the FIRE movement and this week’s trivia question.
NextEra’s leading renewables portfolio is the result of over 20 years of investments.
By The Motley Fool
The Motley Fool Take
NextEra Energy has been one of the most unique growth stories in the renewable energy arena. As a regulated utility, NextEra features the rare combination of growth from new investments and predictable inflows from existing infrastructure that support its dividend. This balance has allowed NextEra to allocate as much as $28 billion toward new projects between 2019 and 2022.
Q: Are companies with low profit margins bad investments? – C.R., Vineland, Colo.
A: Not necessarily. Fat profit margins are generally preferable, as they often reflect competitive advantages (such as a strong brand that commands a higher price). Still, you needn t avoid lower-margin businesses. Instead, look at the whole picture.
Imagine, for example, that the Laverne Brewery Inc. (ticker: DEFAZ) has a whopping net profit margin of 25%, while Shirley Beer Co. (ticker: FEENY) has just a 2% margin. But if Laverne sells only three cases of beer a year, while Shirley sells thousands, Shirley is the better buy, generating more total profit.
