# Guardian Metal Resources PLC (GMET.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Basic Materials / Mining & Metals. Price 80p, market value 159 millionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Guardian Metal Resources PLC 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 / sales: 5309.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 5309.3×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 2.2×**. The shares trade at 2.2× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -21.5%** (5-yr avg -0.1%). 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: -10.7%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on assets: -0.9%**. Each dollar of assets produces -0.9% of profit.

- **From 52-week high: -74.2%** (8.4% above the low). Trading 74% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
