Aurelia Metals

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

Overview: Aurelia Metals Limited is an Australian company involved in the exploration and production of mineral properties, with a market capitalization of A$287.57 million.

Operations: The company’s revenue segments comprise the Hera Mine generating A$0.20 million, the Peak Mine contributing A$207.34 million, and the Dargues Mine adding A$102.36 million.

Market Cap: A$287.57M

Aurelia Metals Limited, with a market cap of A$287.57 million, remains unprofitable despite generating A$309.89 million in sales for the year ending June 2024. The company has seen its debt to equity ratio rise over five years but maintains more cash than total debt and sufficient short-term assets to cover liabilities. While earnings are forecasted to grow annually by 30.18%, challenges persist due to negative return on equity and increasing losses over the past five years at a significant rate. Management and board experience is limited, potentially impacting strategic direction amidst stable weekly volatility in stock performance.

ASX:AMI Financial Position Analysis as at Nov 2024Djerriwarrh Investments

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

Overview: Djerriwarrh Investments Limited is a publicly owned investment manager with a market cap of A$833.34 million.

Operations: The company generates revenue primarily from its portfolio of investments, amounting to A$53.38 million.

Market Cap: A$833.34M

Djerriwarrh Investments Limited, with a market cap of A$833.34 million, has shown stable financial health despite some challenges. The company’s earnings have grown modestly by 5.3% annually over five years, although recent negative growth (-0.3%) contrasts with industry averages. Its dividend yield of 4.83% is not well covered by earnings or cash flows, raising sustainability concerns. However, Djerriwarrh’s debt management is strong; it holds more cash than total debt and maintains high interest coverage (11.7x). Recent board changes include Catherine Brenner’s appointment as Non-Executive Director following Alice Williams’ retirement announcement at the AGM in October 2024.

ASX:DJW Debt to Equity History and Analysis as at Nov 2024Michael Hill International

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

Overview: Michael Hill International Limited operates jewelry stores and offers related services across Australia, New Zealand, and Canada with a market cap of A$227 million.

Operations: The company generated revenue of A$646.60 million from its operations in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.

Market Cap: A$227M

Michael Hill International, with a market cap of A$227 million, is currently unprofitable but shows potential for earnings growth at 37.42% per year. Despite a negative return on equity, the company maintains a satisfactory net debt to equity ratio of 23.2%, and its operating cash flow covers debt well (64.1%). Recent sales announcements indicate an upward trend with group sales up 4.3% in early fiscal 2025, driven by strong performance in Australia and Canada. However, challenges remain as interest payments are not well covered by EBIT, and no final dividend was declared for the past fiscal year.
