Griffin Mining Limited (LSE:GFM) has released its unaudited interim results for the first half of 2025, reporting a notable rebound in output during the second quarter following the full operational halt in late 2024. While revenues dropped 25.7% compared with the same period last year, the company still recorded a gross profit of $25.1 million. This was largely supported by elevated gold prices, which made up 46.5% of total gross revenues.
Looking ahead, Griffin will stop issuing quarterly trading updates, citing production fluctuations, and instead focus on half-yearly and annual reports. The company also expects the upcoming commissioning of Zone II at the Caijiaying Mine to significantly boost production capacity.
The outlook for Griffin remains underpinned by a solid financial position and a strong balance sheet. However, headwinds persist, including shrinking revenues, weaker profitability, and negative free cash flow. Analysts also point to potential short-term weakness based on technical indicators, while the stock’s elevated P/E ratio raises questions about its valuation.
