Negative retained earnings

Negative retained earnings on the balance sheet means that a company has accumulated losses over time, which have exceeded the profits earned. This can happen when a company has consistently experienced losses over several periods or when it has paid out more dividends than its earnings. It can be a cause for concern for investors as it may indicate that the company is not generating enough profits to sustain its operations and growth in the long term. However, it is important to analyze the reasons behind the negative earnings and other financial indicators to make an informed decision about investing in the company.
