# Collective Mining Ltd. (CNL) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Basic Materials / Metals & Mining. Price $16.75, market value $1.6 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Collective Mining Ltd. reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / book: 13.4×**. The shares trade at 13.4× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -4.0%** (5-yr avg -9.3%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Return on equity: -34.4%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -242.3%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -242.3%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -31.5%**. Each dollar of assets produces -31.5% of profit.

## Growth
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -78.8%**. Earnings per share fell 78.8%.

## Financial health

- **Net debt / EBITDA: 2.6×**. It would take 2.6 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Interest coverage: -59.8×**. Operating profit covers interest only -59.8×: fragile.
- **Current ratio: 15.15** (quick 15.15). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 15.15 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 73.49**. A Z-score of 73.49 places the company in the safe zone for bankruptcy risk.
