Eldorado Gold Corporation's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +75.2% in a year against a +51.5% price move.

Biggest watch item: margins are the best this company has ever printed — every ratio flatters at record profitability, so the whole story leans on margins holding.

The price is building a base (10 weeks in). Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +100.0% year on year, and 191% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: the next one or two quarters of delivery.

01 · Price story

Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.

Eldorado Gold Corporation trades at $31.8, building a base and 10 weeks into that stage. That is −7.0% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 37% of a 52-week range of $23 to $47. On relative strength it is currently behind the S&P 500 on a trailing-13-week view (18 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is building a base — week 10 of stage 1. At $31.8 it trades −7.0% versus its 200-day average and sits at 37% of its 52-week range ($23–$47).

Beating or trailing, week by week since 2016 Each cell is one week from 2016 to now (527 weeks): the stock's trailing 13-week return minus the S&P 500's, green ahead / red behind (±25% ramp). Grey cells are the 13-week warm-up or weeks where the S&P 500 reading is not held.
trailing 13-week return vs the S&P 500
Jul 16Aug 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.1 years the stock moved +26% while the S&P 500 moved +263% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (18 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-04-02) — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.

What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.

02 · Valuation

Valuation P/E is the price of $1 of annual profit: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar the company earns in a year.

Eldorado Gold Corporation trades at 13.7× P/E, against too little history to rank. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.

Today's P/E of 13.7× is against too little history to rank. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

P/E 13.7× vs a null× long-run median P/E, weekly (left axis); earnings per share, trailing twelve months, weekly step line (right axis). 3.1-year window; loss-period spikes above 251× shown pinned at the top. The eps (ttm) bars are red where the reading is lower than the quarter before.

The dashed line marks 1.0: below it the growth is cheap against the multiple, above it the price already prices the growth in. Computed here as quarter-end P/E ÷ trailing-twelve-month EPS growth (only quarters with positive growth), because a reported quarterly PEG is not held for this stock. Last 8 quarters.

derived from 3-year earnings growth

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +75.2% against a +51.5% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 3y, of the +51.0%/yr price move, ~+312.1%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−261.1 pp from the multiple (compressing). The split is the honest approximate (price return minus earnings growth); it makes the rally itself visible instead of hiding it behind the percentile.

Put together: the multiple is unremarkable against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

03 · Stage: Mixed

Stage: Mixed Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).

Eldorado Gold Corporation reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — growth is normalizing off a hyper-growth base: profit growth has eased from +1100.0% at its peak to +73.5% but is still expanding, ROCE lifting at 15.5%. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.

04 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

49.8/100 — rank 16 of 28 in Gold · 58% evidence confidence

Eldorado Gold Corporation scores 49.8 out of 100 against the 28 companies it is compared with in Gold, ranking 16. Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 16.8 + 7.8 + 10.5 + 14.7 = 49.8. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.

What would change it: The read weakens if profit growth turns negative or margin improvement reverses while sector-relative strength deteriorates.

05 · Revenue

Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.

Eldorado Gold Corporation reported $0.5 B of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +47.2% year on year. That is the 12th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 4 years it has compounded at 18.0% a year. The last full year, FY25, came in at $1.8 B. The last four reported quarters add to $2.0 B.

FY25 revenue came in at $1.8 B (+37.9% on the year), capping 4 years at 18.0% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed $0.5 B, +47.2% year on year — the 12th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +39.8% growth against the decade's 18.0% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +39.2% over the last 4 quarters against +38.3%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +73.5% vs +121.7%/yr — rolling over.

06 · Operating margin

Operating margin Operating margin is what is left of every $100 of sales after running the business, before interest and tax. It is the cleanest read on pricing power and cost control.

Eldorado Gold Corporation's operating margin is 50.9% in the Mar 26 quarter, +20.3 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 4.6% to 40.1%. The current quarter is running above every full year in that window.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 50.9%, +20.3 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 4.6%–40.1%, and FY25's 40.1% is the top of that band — a record year.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +20.3 pp year on year while gross margin went +13.0 pp — the gain came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

Worth repeating from the valuation section: cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap — a record margin flatters every ratio built on top of it.

07 · Net profit

Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.

Eldorado Gold Corporation earned $0.1 B of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +100.0% year on year. It is the 2nd consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $0.5 B. The 4-year compound rate is 125.8%. That is 26.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $0.1 B.

Mar 26 profit was $0.1 B, +100.0% year on year — the 2nd consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY25 printed $0.5 B (+73.3%), and the 4-year compound rate is 125.8%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +47.2% and the margin +20.3 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +80.2% vs revenue +39.8%. Profit is growing faster than sales — fixed costs are being spread over a bigger base, and each extra dollar of revenue drops more to the bottom line.

08 · Cash flow — the router

Cash flow — the router The P&L says what was earned; the cash-flow statement says what actually arrived. Operating cash flow (CFO) against profit is the cleanest lie detector in the accounts.

Over the last 3 fiscal years 191% of Eldorado Gold Corporation's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY25 that was $0.7 B of operating cash against $0.5 B of profit. After $0.9 B of capital spending, $−0.1 B was left as free cash.

FY25: operating cash of $0.7 B against reported profit of $0.5 B, leaving free cash of $−0.1 B after $0.9 B of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 191% of profit.

Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.

FY25: CFO $0.7 B vs profit $0.5 B Operating cash flow and net profit by fiscal year, $ B; the line is free cash flow (CFO minus capital spending). 5-year window, annual resolution.

Why: conversion is measured cleanly, but the working-capital day-counts behind it sit below what we hold — the move is shown without inventing its driver.

Router verdict: the visible cash user is investment — the next section checks what the spending is buying.

09 · Where the cash goes

Where the cash goes Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid: debtor days (customers owe), inventory days (stock waits), and the cash conversion cycle (the whole loop, in days of sales).

Eldorado Gold Corporation does not report the debtor, inventory and payable day-counts a cash cycle is built from, so this section reads the investment side instead. Capital spending ran $2.0 B over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 36.6% of FY25 revenue a year.

Working-capital day-counts are not in our numbers for this stock, so this section reads the investment side — where the cash is being put to work.

On the investment side: capital spending of $2.0 B over the last 3 fiscal years.

FY25: capex $0.9 B Capital spending per fiscal year, $ B (bars).

The synthesis: the cash is going into capacity, not disappearing into the cycle — the question becomes whether the new capacity earns.

10 · Return on equity

Return on equity Return on equity (ROE) is the profit the business earns on its shareholders’ money. With the full capital-employed split not in our numbers, ROE is the cleanest long ladder we can draw here.

Eldorado Gold Corporation earns a ROE of 12% in FY25. That is up from a trough of −2% in FY22. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +0.6 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 28.6% net margin on 0.27× asset turns.

FY25 ROE is 12%, recovered from a FY22 trough of −2% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY25): 28.6% net margin × 0.27× asset turns × 1.57× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 12.1% on equity. Margin is doing the heavy lifting; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 10.7% − 10.1% = a +0.6 pp spread. The 10.1% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital — read the sign and the size of the spread, not the decimals. Positive but thin — value creation with little room for error.

11 · Dividend

Dividend A dividend is cash paid out per share. Dividend per share is the declared amount for the period; the trailing twelve-month total is the four most recent quarters added together.

Eldorado Gold Corporation has 1 quarter of declared dividends on file — too few for a trailing-twelve-month figure. The most recent declaration was $0.07 for Mar 26.

Eldorado Gold Corporation has declared a dividend in 1 of the last 12 reported quarters, most recently $0.07 for Mar 26. That is fewer than four quarters, so no trailing-twelve-month total is shown rather than one built from a partial year.

12 · Debt

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings. Low is the safe corner; the trend matters as much as the level.

Eldorado Gold Corporation carries total debt of $1.8 B against shareholder equity of $6.9 B as of Jun 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.26 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.14 in FY21 to 0.30 in FY25. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.

Jun 26: total debt of $1.8 B against shareholder equity of $6.9 B — a debt-to-equity of 0.26. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.14 (FY21) to 0.30 (FY25). The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed.

13 · Ownership

Ownership There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read here, so we read the crowd through short interest — the slice of tradable shares currently sold short, positioned for a fall.

4.5% of Eldorado Gold Corporation's tradable float is currently sold short — some money is positioned against it. At typical trading volumes those positions would take about 4.7 days to buy back. There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read for this filer, so the crowd is read through short interest instead.

The latest reading: 4.5% of the float is sold short, and at typical trading volumes it would take about 4.7 days to buy those positions back. Some money is positioned against it. This is a single point-in-time reading — we do not yet hold its history, so we show no trend chart.

Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.

Eldorado Gold Corporation: the Z-score reads 1.55. A Z-score above roughly 3 reads as safe and below roughly 1.8 as the distress zone, so this sits inside the distress zone. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure.

🚨 Why it matters: a Z-score of 1.55 is inside the distress zone — the balance sheet is a real risk, not a detail.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score reads 1.55.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.
