财务健康
The company reported a revenue of $57.64B and an EBITDA of $20.28B over the trailing twelve months, with a net income of $9.97B. The significant gap between the revenue figure and the net income reveals a robust cost structure where operating expenses, including depletion and stripping costs, account for approximately 82.7% of total revenue before reaching the bottom line. Free cash flow stands at $3.50B, which demonstrates that the company generates sufficient cash from its core mining operations to fund capital expenditures and maintain financial flexibility without relying heavily on external financing. Gross margin is recorded at 28.1%, indicating the efficiency of extracting and processing minerals relative to sales price; operating margin follows at 25.3%, reflecting effective control over administrative and selling expenses, while profit margin settles at 17.3%, showing the final profitability after all costs and taxes. Regarding liquidity and leverage, the company holds $9.42B in cash against $23.75B in debt, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 35.43, which suggests a leveraged balance sheet typical for capital-intensive mining industries but requiring careful management of interest coverage. The current ratio of 1.45 indicates that the company possesses adequate short-term assets to cover its short-term liabilities, ensuring healthy immediate liquidity. Furthermore, the Return on Equity of 16.4% and Return on Assets of 7.9% highlight that management is effectively utilizing shareholder capital and total assets to generate returns, with ROE being particularly strong for the industrial metals sector.
估值评估
The trailing twelve-month P/E ratio is 15.53, while the forward P/E is projected at 10.96, implying that the market expects earnings growth that would justify a lower multiple in the future compared to current performance. The price-to-book ratio of 2.47 suggests that the market values the company at a premium of roughly 147% over its net asset value, reflecting intangible assets like exploration rights and brand strength. Additional valuation metrics include a price-to-sales ratio of 2.66 and an EV/EBITDA of 8.51, which provide alternative perspectives on value that account for enterprise value relative to operating earnings. The stock has traded between a 52-week low of $51.67 and a high of $101.53, meaning the current market price sits within this historical range but is significantly below the recent peak of 101.53. The beta value of 0.64 indicates that the stock exhibits lower volatility than the broader market, moving less than 36% as much as the benchmark index in response to market fluctuations.
Growth & Income
Revenue growth year-over-year stands at 14.6%, whereas earnings growth is -5.6%, indicating that profitability is currently expanding at a slower rate than top-line sales, likely due to cost pressures or commodity price adjustments. As a consistent dividend payer, the company offers a dividend yield of 4.3% with a payout ratio of 61.3%, a level that appears sustainable given the strong free cash flow generation and the fact that it is below the typical 75% threshold for safety. The negative earnings growth does not necessarily threaten the dividend, as the payout ratio remains conservative enough to allow the company to retain earnings for reinvestment during periods of lower profitability. Overall, the company presents a profile characterized by high dividend income and moderate revenue expansion, though current earnings compression requires monitoring of cost controls and commodity pricing power.
