Low quality scores are often associated with businesses in turnaround mode, early-stage growth, or structurally challenged industries.
With a value score of 31/100, PPTA appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/B ratio of 6.92x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
With an investment score of 40/100, PPTA exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include a return on assets of -8.0% (sector: 3.9%). The company appears to be balancing growth investments with capital returns, though the pace of investment may not be enough to accelerate top-line growth meaningfully.
PPTA shows strong momentum characteristics with a score of 75/100. The stock has been trending above key moving averages, indicating solid demand from institutional buyers. Revenue growth data is not currently available, while a beta of 0.94 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. This level of momentum typically signals sustained investor confidence and favorable near-term price action.
PPTA's stability score of 30/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.94 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 2.00x (sector avg: 0.3x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
PERPETUA RESOURCES CORP.'s short interest score of 33/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. At $2.2B (mid-cap), PPTA carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
PERPETUA RESOURCES CORP. is a mid-cap company in the Mining sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3209 of 7,333 overall (56th percentile).
