Winston Score History

The full picture

Centerra Gold is a Canadian mining company that digs gold and copper out of the ground and sells those metals on global commodity markets. Its main asset is the Mount Milligan mine in British Columbia, Canada, which produces both gold and copper concentrate. The company also operates the Öksüt gold mine in Turkey, making it one of the mid-sized gold producers listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Centerra earns money by selling physical gold and copper at prevailing market prices, so its revenue rises and falls with commodity prices rather than from subscriptions or contracts. The company operates primarily in Canada and Turkey, with a market cap of around $4.6 billion, and its relatively strong operating margin of roughly 40% reflects low-cost production at its core mines. The biggest risk Centerra faces is its dependence on a small number of mines, meaning any operational disruption, permitting issue, or drop in gold prices could have an outsized impact on its earnings.

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
