Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd.
SCZMSantacruz Silver Mining Ltd.'s price has outrun its earnings. +111.1% in a year against EPS −75.1% — the market is paying now for delivery later.
The sharpest disagreement: the price moved +111.1% in a year while annual EPS moved −75.1% — the difference is re-rating, and re-rating has to be repaid with earnings.
The price is building a base (12 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 76th percentile of its own 2-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +200.0% year on year, and 65% of the last 2 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether earnings grow into a price that has already moved.
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.
Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. trades at $7.2, building a base and 12 weeks into that stage. That is −14.6% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 29% of a 52-week range of $4 to $16. On relative strength it is currently behind the S&P 500 on a trailing-13-week view (22 weeks and counting).
Today the stock is building a base — week 12 of stage 1. At $7.2 it trades −14.6% versus its 200-day average and sits at 29% of its 52-week range ($4–$16).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.1 years the stock moved +362% while the S&P 500 moved +263% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (22 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-03-06) — 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.
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.
Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. trades at 11.0× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (76th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 4.7×, measured across 2.3 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.
Today's P/E of 11.0× is at the pricey end of its own range (76th percentile), against a long-run median of 4.7× measured over 2.3 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.
🚨 Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved −75.1% against a +111.1% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.
Put together: the multiple is full against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.
Stage: No read 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).
Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. reads as no read on its fundamental arc. Under eight usable quarters on the growth trio — not enough history for an honest trajectory read. The read is built from 12 quarters across 2 curves, on partial evidence.
Why it matters: with too little history, an honest page says so instead of guessing a trajectory.
Fewer than eight usable quarters on the growth curves — this page will not guess a trajectory from a stub of history.

4-Factor Sector Score
65.6/100 — rank 1 of 30 in Other Industrial Metals & Mining · 81% evidence confidence
Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. scores 65.6 out of 100 against the 30 companies it is compared with in Other Industrial Metals & Mining, ranking 1. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 23.7 + 19.6 + 15.2 + 7.1 = 65.6. 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.
Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.
Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. reported $0.1 B of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +85.7% year on year. That is the 2nd straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 4 years it has compounded at 60.3% a year. The last full year, FY25, came in at $0.3 B. The last four reported quarters add to $0.4 B.
FY25 revenue came in at $0.3 B (+17.9% on the year), capping 4 years at 60.3% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed $0.1 B, +85.7% year on year — the 2nd consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +27.7% growth against the decade's 60.3% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +26.7% over the last 4 quarters against +28.5%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +75.0% vs −23.6%/yr — accelerating.
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.
Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd.'s operating margin is 23.1% in the Mar 26 quarter, −5.5 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 −20.0% to 24.2%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
The latest quarter's operating margin is 23.1%, −5.5 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −20.0%–24.2%, and FY25's 24.2% is the top of that band — a record year.
🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −5.5 pp year on year while gross margin went −4.4 pp — the loss 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.
Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.
Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. earned $0.0 B of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +200.0% year on year. Full-year FY25 profit was $0.0 B. That is 23.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $0.0 B. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.
Mar 26 profit was $0.0 B, +200.0% year on year. On the full year, FY25 printed $0.0 B (−75.0%).
Why profit moved: revenue contributed +85.7% and the margin −5.5 pp — the quarter was revenue-led despite a thinner margin.
Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +33.3% vs revenue +27.7%. 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.
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 2 fiscal years 65% of Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd.'s reported profit arrived as operating cash — most of the profit is real cash. In FY25 that was $0.1 B of operating cash against $0.0 B of profit. After $0.0 B of capital spending, $0.1 B was left as free cash.
FY25: operating cash of $0.1 B against reported profit of $0.0 B, leaving free cash of $0.1 B after $0.0 B of capital spending. Across the last 2 fiscal years the conversion rate is 65% of profit.
Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.
🚨 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.
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).
Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. 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 $0.0 B over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 0.0% 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 $0.0 B over the last 3 fiscal years.
The synthesis: the cash is going into capacity, not disappearing into the cycle — the question becomes whether the new capacity earns.
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.
Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. earns a ROE of 22% in FY25. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +15.2 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 12.1% net margin on 0.73× asset turns.
FY25 ROE is 22%.
Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY25): 12.1% net margin × 0.73× asset turns × 2.50× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 22.1% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.
The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 33.8% − 18.6% = a +15.2 pp spread. The 18.6% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital — read the sign and the size of the spread, not the decimals. A spread this wide means every dollar reinvested creates more than a dollar of value — the engine compounds.
Dividend
Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. pays no dividend. Across the last 12 reported quarters it has declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to quote. Companies at this stage typically reinvest earnings rather than distribute them, which makes the cash-flow and reinvestment sections the place that cash shows up.
Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. does not currently pay a dividend. Across the last 12 reported quarters the company has declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to quote. Companies at this stage typically reinvest earnings instead of distributing them.
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.
Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. carries total debt of $0.1 B against shareholder equity of $0.2 B as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.24 — effectively unlevered. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.
Mar 26: total debt of $0.1 B against shareholder equity of $0.2 B — a debt-to-equity of 0.24. The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed.
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.
3.5% of Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd.'s tradable float is currently sold short — some money is positioned against it. At typical trading volumes those positions would take about 6.6 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: 3.5% of the float is sold short, and at typical trading volumes it would take about 6.6 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.
Why it sits there: who is doing the shorting, and why, does not travel with the number — the level is shown without inventing its story.
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.
Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd.: the Z-score reads 3.33. A Z-score above roughly 3 reads as safe and below roughly 1.8 as the distress zone, so this sits well clear of distress. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure.
Why it matters: a Z-score of 3.33 sits well clear of the distress zone — the balance sheet is not the risk here.
The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score reads 3.33.

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.

Does Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. have too much debt?
No — Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd.'s debt-to-equity is 0.23. A year-by-year borrowings ladder is not in our numbers for this stock, so the latest reading is the cleanest hold. The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed — as of 5 August 2026.
What is Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd.'s capex?
Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. spent $0.0 B on capital expenditure over the last 3 fiscal years, a figure derived from the change in fixed assets plus depreciation. In FY25 alone that was $0.0 B. — as of 5 August 2026.

Where is Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. in its business cycle?
Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd.'s FY25 operating margin was 24.2%, against a 5-year band of −20.0%–24.2%: the top of the band — a record year. Record profitability is late-cycle territory: every ratio flatters at the top, and the story leans on margins holding. The latest quarter ran 23.1%. Profitability versus a company's own long band is the cleanest cycle clock this page holds — as of 5 August 2026.
What could break the Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. story?
The sharpest disagreement: the price moved +111.1% in a year while annual EPS moved −75.1% — the difference is re-rating, and re-rating has to be repaid with earnings. Mechanically, two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day average would end the price trend — that is the exit rule this page tracks — as of 5 August 2026.
Is Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. a stock worth studying right now?
This is not investment advice. The machine read: Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd.'s price has outrun its earnings. +111.1% in a year against EPS −75.1% — the market is paying now for delivery later. The sharpest open question: whether earnings grow into a price that has already moved. Every number on this page is drawn deterministically from the raw series, with no forecasts and no price opinions — as of 5 August 2026.
