The score is held down primarily by very weak financial performance—minimal/zero revenue, persistent losses, and ongoing negative free cash flow—despite an improved, low-debt balance sheet. Technicals are supportive in the short term (price above key moving averages and positive MACD), but overbought momentum indicators add near-term risk. Valuation is also constrained by negative earnings and no dividend yield data.

Positive Factors

Zero reported debt and improving equity

No reported debt and recovering equity provide structural financial flexibility. Low leverage reduces solvency risk, preserves borrowing capacity and supports survival while pursuing operational turnaround or raising growth capital, a durable buffer through cyclical steel market swings.

Stable asset base (~10–11m)

A stable asset base gives the company collateral and tangible resources to restructure operations, sell non-core assets or secure financing. This reduces downside risk and supports longer-term recovery plans versus firms with depleted asset bases.

Moderation in cash burn and loss magnitude

Declining absolute cash outflows and smaller net losses indicate improved cost control or scaled-back operations. Sustained moderation reduces near-term funding pressure, extends runway, and makes a self-sustaining recovery more achievable if revenue traction returns.

Negative Factors

Effectively no operating revenue

A persistently absent revenue base is a fundamental weakness: without stable sales there is no internal funding source, limited evidence of market demand, and low scalability. This undermines any recovery plan and increases dependence on external capital.

Consistent negative operating and free cash flow

Ongoing cash burn forces reliance on external funding, which can dilute shareholders or be unavailable in stressed markets. Persistent negative cash flow limits investment in growth, maintenance and working capital, impairing long-term competitiveness.

Recurring net losses and weak profitability

Repeated annual losses erode retained equity and indicate structural unprofitability. This weakens return metrics, impairs ability to attract partners or lenders, and raises the risk that continued losses could negate balance sheet improvements.

Pearl Gull Iron Ltd Business Overview & Revenue Model

Company Description

Pearl Gull Iron Limited, a mineral exploration company, focuses on exploration and development of iron ore properties. The company holds 100% interests in the M04/235 mining lease; and two miscellaneous licenses L04/102 and L04/103 located at Cockatoo Island, Western Australia. The company was incorporated in 2017 and is based in Subiaco, Australia.

How the Company Makes Money

Pearl Gull Iron Ltd makes money by extracting and selling iron ore from its mining operations. The company's revenue model is centered around the sale of iron ore to domestic and international markets. Key revenue streams include direct sales contracts with steel manufacturers and other industrial clients who require iron ore for their production processes. Additionally, the company may engage in partnerships or joint ventures with other mining entities to optimize extraction and distribution processes, leveraging shared resources and infrastructure to enhance profitability. However, specific details about such partnerships or additional factors contributing to earnings are currently unavailable.

Pearl Gull Iron Ltd Financial Statement Overview

Summary

Income statement quality is very weak due to minimal/zero revenue in most years and recurring net losses. Cash flow is also poor with consistently negative operating cash flow and free cash flow, indicating ongoing cash burn. The balance sheet is relatively better (no reported debt and positive, improving equity), but continued losses and cash outflows remain the dominant risk.

Income Statement

The company has effectively no operating revenue in most years (including 0 in 2025 and 2023–2022), with revenue collapsing from 32k in 2024 to 0 in 2025 (-100% growth). Profitability is consistently weak with recurring operating losses and net losses every year (net loss of ~0.5m in 2025 after ~1.2m in 2024, with a much larger loss in 2022 of ~5.0m). While the scale of losses has improved versus 2022–2024, the lack of a stable revenue base and persistent negative earnings keep the income statement quality very low.

Balance Sheet

Balance sheet risk looks moderate-to-improving primarily because reported debt is 0 from 2022 through 2025 and equity is positive and rising in 2025 (~2.0m), after being negative in 2020–2021. Total assets are relatively stable around ~10–11m in recent years. The key weakness is ongoing losses driving poor returns on equity (negative in 2022–2025), which can pressure equity over time even with low leverage.

Cash Flow

Cash generation is consistently negative: operating cash flow and free cash flow are both negative each year (about -0.8m in 2025 and -0.9m in 2024, with a much larger burn in 2022 of about -4.9m). Cash burn has moderated versus the 2022 trough, but free cash flow growth is volatile and remains negative in absolute terms, indicating continued reliance on funding rather than self-financing operations.

Pearl Gull Iron Sells Cockatoo Island Project, Retains Strategic Stake in Crestlink

Pearl Gull Iron has completed the sale of its Cockatoo Island Project for total consideration of A$4.5 million in cash, a 4% indirect equity stake in logistics developer Crestlink Pty Ltd, and royalty streams over future iron ore and ballast production from the tenements. The transaction, which delivered an initial A$2.5 million payment in the December quarter with a further A$2 million due in December 2026, has allowed the company to repay outstanding loan principal and interest, strengthen its balance sheet, and maintain upside exposure to the strategic Cockatoo Island development via its Crestlink holding and royalties. Crestlink’s fully funded, government-recognised major project to build a multi-user aviation and marine logistics network across the Kimberley – with construction expected to start in 2026 – positions Pearl Gull as a small but continuing beneficiary of regional infrastructure growth as it remains listed and redirects capital toward sourcing new assets and expansion opportunities.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:PLG) stock is a Hold with a A$0.04 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Pearl Gull Iron Ltd stock, see the AU:PLG Stock Forecast page.
