Aya Gold & Silver (TSE:AYA) shareholder returns have been enviable, earning 462% in 5 years
On the back of a solid 7-day performance, let's check what role the company's fundamentals have played in driving long term shareholder returns.
We check all companies for important risks. See what we found for Aya Gold & Silver in our free report.
To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement.
During five years of share price growth, Aya Gold & Silver moved from a loss to profitability. However, it made a loss in the last twelve months, suggesting profit may be an unreliable metric at this stage. So we might find other metrics can better explain the share price movements.
On the other hand, Aya Gold & Silver's revenue is growing nicely, at a compound rate of 24% over the last five years. It's quite possible that management are prioritizing revenue growth over EPS growth at the moment.
You can see how earnings and revenue have changed over time in the image below (click on the chart to see the exact values).
We like that insiders have been buying shares in the last twelve months. Having said that, most people consider earnings and revenue growth trends to be a more meaningful guide to the business. So we recommend checking out this free report showing consensus forecasts
While the broader market gained around 16% in the last year, Aya Gold & Silver shareholders lost 22%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 41% per year over half a decade. If the fundamental data continues to indicate long term sustainable growth, the current sell-off could be an opportunity worth considering. It is all well and good that insiders have been buying shares, but we suggest you check here to see what price insiders were buying at.
There are plenty of other companies that have insiders buying up shares. You probably do not want to miss this free list of undervalued small cap companies that insiders are buying.

Covalon Technologies Ltd. Achieves DTC Eligibility in the United States
Improving Access for U.S. Investors and Supporting Share Price Appreciation for Canadian MedTech Innovator MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, August 20, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Covalon Technologies Ltd. (the "Company" or "Covalon") (TSXV: COV; OTCQX: CVALF), an advanced medical technologies company, is pleased to announce that its common shares are now eligible for electronic clearing and settlement in the United States through The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). DTC eligibility simplifies the trading process for Covalon shares on the U.S. OTCQX Market under the symbol CVALF by eliminating manual delays and higher transaction costs often associated with cross-border securities. Most United States-based brokerage firms do not allow their customers to trade shares unless they are DTC eligible.

"This is a major milestone for Covalon as we expand our visibility and access to a broader investor base," said Brent Ashton, CEO of Covalon. "Receiving DTC eligibility significantly streamlines the investment process for U.S. shareholders and demonstrates the commitment to growing our presence in U.S. capital markets, where we have received very positive feedback from investors." In addition, in the Company's May 15, 2025 press release, Covalon announced the promotion of Kim Crooks appointment to Covalon's Board of Directors, and the awarding of 150,000 common share stock options, both of which were subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
