Market Cap: A$415.26M

Champion Iron (ASX:CIA)
Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Champion Iron Limited focuses on the acquisition, exploration, development, and production of iron ore properties in Canada and has a market cap of A$2.36 billion.
Operations: The company generates revenue from the sale of iron ore concentrate, amounting to CA$1.53 billion.
Market Cap: A$2.36B
Champion Iron Limited, with a market cap of A$2.36 billion, reported a decline in Q1 2025 earnings to CA$23.78 million from CA$81.36 million the previous year due to lower sales and reduced profit margins. Despite these challenges, the company's net debt to equity ratio is satisfactory at 39.3%, and its debt is well covered by operating cash flow at 47.6%. However, short-term assets do not cover long-term liabilities (CA$1.3 billion), and dividend sustainability remains questionable as it isn't well-covered by earnings or free cash flows, reflecting potential risks for investors seeking stable returns in penny stocks.
