# Talon Metals Corp. (TLO.TO) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. TSX, Canada. Sector: Basic Materials / Metals & Mining. Price C$7.62, market value C$1.2 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Talon Metals Corp. 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: 10.6×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 10.6×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 2.3×**. The shares trade at 2.3× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 62.1×**. Enterprise value is 62.1× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -4.2%** (5-yr avg -152.1%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 8.5%**. Talon Metals Corp. keeps 8.5% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: 2.6%**. 2.6% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Return on equity: -1.7%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: 1.1%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 1.1%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 0.8%**. Each dollar of assets produces 0.8% of profit.

## Growth
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -92.4%**. Earnings per share fell 92.4%.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.00**. Debt is 0.00 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: net cash**. Talon Metals Corp. holds more cash than debt.
- **Interest coverage: 6.5×**. Operating profit covers interest 6.5× over, a safe margin.
- **Current ratio: 3.98** (quick 3.98). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 3.98 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 69.43**. A Z-score of 69.43 places the company in the safe zone for bankruptcy risk.
- **Piotroski F-score: 3/9**. 3 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.
