Winston Score History

The full picture

Kinross Gold Corporation is a Canadian mining company that digs gold out of the ground and sells it. It operates large open-pit and underground mines, producing gold and some silver as a byproduct. Kinross is one of the larger gold producers in the world, with mines spread across the United States, Canada, Brazil, Mauritania, and Chile.

The company makes money by selling the gold it mines, so its profits rise and fall with the price of gold on global markets. With a gross margin above 50%, Kinross keeps a solid portion of each dollar of revenue after covering mining costs. Its main competitive advantage is owning long-life mines with large reserves, which gives it years of future production already in the ground. The biggest risk the business faces is a sustained drop in gold prices, since Kinross has limited control over what its product sells for.

Strong grower

Kinross Gold Corporation is growing revenue at 29% year-over-year. The Winston Score penalises unprofitable companies, but revenue at this pace tells a different story — this is a company still in "build mode."

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.
