Catalyst Metals

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Catalyst Metals Limited is engaged in the exploration and evaluation of mineral properties in Australia, with a market cap of A$666.65 million.

Operations: The company generates revenue from its operations primarily in Western Australia (A$243.77 million) and Tasmania (A$75.08 million).

Market Cap: A$666.65M

Catalyst Metals has transitioned to profitability, reporting A$317.01 million in sales for the year ended June 2024, a significant increase from the previous year. The company's debt is well-covered by operating cash flow, and it holds more cash than total debt, indicating strong financial health. Despite recent shareholder dilution and low return on equity at 11.7%, Catalyst's earnings are forecasted to grow by over 33% annually. Its addition to the S&P/ASX Emerging Companies Index underscores its growing presence in the market. However, short-term liabilities exceed short-term assets slightly, which may warrant attention.
