What does Hochschild Mining's quality score measure?+

Intrinsiqq's quality score weighs revenue and free-cash-flow growth, operating margins, return on invested capital, change in share count, and balance-sheet strength, each computed from HOC.XLON's company filings rather than opinion or sentiment. A higher score means a more durable, capital-efficient business; it is not a buy or sell signal. Open each metric on this page to see exactly where Hochschild Mining scores well and where it falls behind.

What is Hochschild Mining's return on invested capital (ROIC)?+

Hochschild Mining earns about 20.5% on its invested capital, which is exceptional. ROIC measures how much profit a company generates per dollar put to work; sustained ROIC above its cost of capital is one of the clearest signs of a real competitive moat. Compare it to HOC.XLON's margins and growth on this scorecard to judge durability.

How profitable is Hochschild Mining?+

Hochschild Mining runs an operating margin of about 29.2% and a net margin of about 20.9%. Revenue has grown at roughly 9.9% a year recently. High, stable margins usually point to pricing power and operating discipline. Margins are most telling next to growth and returns on capital, all of which feed this quality score.
