Dundee (TSX:DC.A)

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Dundee Corporation is a publicly owned investment manager with a market cap of CA$150.99 million.

Operations: The company's revenue is primarily derived from its Mining Services segment, which generated CA$3.72 million, along with contributions from Corporate and Others amounting to CA$4.00 million.

Market Cap: CA$150.99M

Dundee Corporation, with a market cap of CA$150.99 million, primarily derives its revenue from its Mining Services segment. The company has recently completed the redemption of preferred shares, which may improve financial flexibility. Despite lacking significant revenue streams (CA$6 million), Dundee reported substantial net income gains due to large one-off items impacting results. While the company's debt levels are satisfactory and short-term assets cover liabilities comfortably, operating cash flow remains negative. The management and board are experienced, but the Return on Equity is low at 9.3%. Its Price-To-Earnings ratio suggests it might be undervalued compared to the broader Canadian market.
