Hecla Mining Company (HL) on Decifer

Decifer ranks HL number 263 of 277 tracked names on durable business quality.

Why it ranks here

• It earns solid returns on the money it puts to work, around 11% and those returns have been improving and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
• Revenue is growing about 53% a year, profits grew 763% over the past year, and growth is speeding up, not slowing down.
• It keeps a healthy share of every sale as profit, with profitability widening as it grows.
• It is riding an active market tailwind and has the balance sheet to fund its growth.
• We do not have a clean read on how it is run yet.
• Its profit margin and growth are both unusually high right now compared to its own history, the kind of combination that often fades once conditions normalize.
• Revenue growing about 53% a year and profits up 763% look explosive but that mix often fades, there is no worldview role, and momentum is 0 out of 35.
