Here is why I am bullish on DC here at $5.07: The balance sheet pillar scores 10 / 20 and cash rose from $9.4M to $29.7M between FY 2024 and FY 2025.. Compare DC's 0.0% operating margin and -29.3% ROIC against the rest of Metal Mining. As long as cash conversion holds up, dips toward $4.82 are getting bought.
Both sides have a point here — DC's 10/20 balance sheet score keeps downside contained, so the real swing factor next earnings call is backlog and FCF conversion.
Careful chasing DC at $5.07. ROIC is -29.3%, FCF yield is -3.49%, and reported revenue is $0.0M in both periods, with the RQD verdict at Strong Sell.. Gross margin is 0.0%, but operating margin is 0.0%, which shows SG&A and reinvestment are eating into bottom-line EPS. Target $3.95 on multiple compression.
