On the stock market since 2006, it operates in the world of raw materials. It has 485 employees. Now — the numbers.
The company closed last year at a loss: costs ran above sales. The picture changes only if spending is reined in.
The biggest line carries real weight, but it doesn’t decide everything on its own.
An average decline of 7% a year over the last 4 years — the most striking risk in this picture. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.
Before the clock runs out, either sales must climb sharply or new money must come in. For now, time is on the company’s side.
We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.

The stock has been running stronger than the market lately.
Financial Strength: The cash-and-debt balance is thin; the buffer for hard times is slim.
Valuation: The stock trades at a price that looks expensive next to its earnings; that can cap future returns.
The stock trades 37% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.
The company sells $93.3M a year; the problem isn’t sales — it’s costs running above that number.
There is $25.0M in the vault; even if every debt were paid off, $25.0M would remain.
Over the last 12 months, company executives reported 18 buys and 7 sells. Management buying with its own money is usually read as a good sign.
A loss of $6.5M against $93.3M in annual sales.
The balance sheet offers little cushion against a rough stretch. Report-card grade: 34/100.
Today’s price already includes part of tomorrow’s optimism. Report-card grade: 43/100.
On our five-subject report card, GORO sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”
The takeaway: GORO is a small company that closed last year at a loss. The road back to profit runs through spending discipline.
The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.
