Winston Score History

The full picture

Perseus Mining Limited is a gold mining company that digs gold out of the ground in West Africa. It owns and operates three gold mines — Edikan in Ghana, Sissingué in Côte d'Ivoire, and Yaouré in Côte d'Ivoire. The company sells the gold it produces to refiners and bullion banks, making it part of the global precious metals supply chain.

Perseus earns money by selling gold at market prices, so its profits rise and fall with the gold price. The company operates entirely in West Africa, which gives it low production costs compared to many peers — a key part of its competitive position. With a market cap of around $6.7 billion and healthy operating margins near 47%, the business generates strong cash flow when gold prices are elevated. The main risk is that a drop in the gold price, or operational disruptions at its African mines, could significantly reduce earnings.

Growth + cash flow

Perseus Mining Limited is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 24%. The Winston Score doesn't fully credit this transition from "burner" to "earner."

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.
