I own this stock of Trigon Metals Inc (TSX-TM, OTC-PNTZF). I originally brought this stock in 2000 as Tathacus Resources Ltd. because it was doing interesting things. There was a reverse takeover (RTO) of this company on April 28, 2011 by Pan Terra Industries Inc. Symbol PNT. On May 2, 2012 there was a name change from Pan Terra Industries (PNT) to Kombat Copper Inc. (KBT). On December 22, 2016, stock changed its name and TSX symbol from Kombat Copper Inc. (TSX-KBT, OTC-PNTZF) to Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-TM, OTC-PNTZF)
When I was updating my spreadsheet, I noticed they are burning through their cash quickly. They sold more shares to raise money but cash went down by 92%. They issued more shares in the first quarter and now cash is up by 859% or only down by 31% since the prior year. Also, note that the financial year ends at March 31 each year. Insiders are buying that includes Chairman, CEO and CFO.
This stock has no dividends and never did. When I bought this stock in 2000, it was part of a basket of small caps that I was buying at that time. With all the changes my shares went from 300 to 60 to currently 6 shares. With the changes listed above there were to consolidations of stocks, one in 2009 and one in 2016.
They did not have any long term debt until 2018. Currently the Long Term Debt/Market Cap Ratio is 0.28. The other debt ratios are not good. The Liquidity Ratio is 0.26. If this ratio is below 1.00, it means that current assets cannot cover current liabilities. The Debt Ratio is 0.87. When this ratio is below 1.00, it means that assets cannot cover liabilities. Because equity is negative, Leverage and Debt/Equity Ratios cannot be calculated.
The Total Return per year is shown below for years of 5 to 20. Under the Capital Gain column is the portion of the Total Return attributable to capital gains. Under the Dividend column is the portion of the Total Return attributable to dividends. See charts below.
This certainly has been a loser for me. It is worth to me is less than what it would cost to sell the shares I have.
| Years | Tot Ret | Cap Gain | Div. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | -29.31% | -29.31% | 0.00% |
| 10 | -35.69% | -35.69% | 0.00% |
| 15 | -31.63% | -31.63% | 0.00% |
| 20 | -13.12% | -13.12% | 0.00% |
There are no Price/Earnings per Share Ratios for this stock has it does not have revenue, let alone earnings. With no earnings I cannot calculate a Graham Price. Since the Book Value is now negative, I can do not stock price testing using Price/Book Value per Share Ratio. There are no dividends, so no dividend yield price testing cannot be done. I also cannot do any Price/Sales (Revenue) Ratio testing as the company has no revenue.
When I look at analysts’ recommendations I find no analysts following this stock on any site I looked at.
