Data as of 2026-09-08. TSX, Canada. Sector: Basic Materials / Metals & Mining. Price C$64.00, market value C$3.8 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 10.2×** (5-yr avg 30.4×, 3-yr avg 36.0×). Altius Minerals Corporation trades at 10.2× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 30.4×: cheap by its own standards. The Basic Materials median in the September 2026 study was 19.0×. Forward P/E is 59.3×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.30**. A PEG of 0.30 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 55.7×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 55.7×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 2.7×**. The shares trade at 2.7× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 8.7×**. Enterprise value is 8.7× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 0.7%** (5-yr avg 4.3%). Free cash flow equals 0.7% of the market value, below its five-year average of 4.3%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 74.7%**. Altius Minerals Corporation keeps 74.7% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, the kind of margin that comes with software, brands or pricing power.
- **Operating margin: 26.6%**. 26.6% of revenue is left after running the business, an exceptional level.
- **Return on equity: 33.7%**. 33.7% on shareholders' equity is excellent if it is not driven by leverage; sustained above 20% usually signals a competitive advantage.
- **Return on invested capital: 2.0%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 2.0%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 199.1%** (3-yr 99.4%/yr). Earnings per share rose 199.1%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
