Q4 Earnings Roundup: BigCommerce (NASDAQ:BIGC) And The Rest Of The E-commerce Software Segment
Quarterly earnings results are a good time to check in on a company's progress, especially compared to its peers in the same sector. Today we are looking at BigCommerce (NASDAQ:BIGC) and the best and worst performers in the e-commerce software industry.
While e-commerce has been around for over two decades and enjoyed meaningful growth, its overall penetration of retail still remains low. Only around $1 in every $5 spent on retail purchases comes from digital orders, leaving over 80% of the retail market still ripe for online disruption. It is these large swathes of the retail where e-commerce has not yet taken hold that drives the demand for various e-commerce software solutions.
The 5 e-commerce software stocks we track reported a mixed Q4. As a group, revenues beat analysts' consensus estimates by 0.9% while next quarter's revenue guidance was in line.
While some e-commerce software stocks have fared somewhat better than others, they have collectively declined. On average, share prices are down 4.3% since the latest earnings results.
Weakest Q4: BigCommerce (NASDAQ:BIGC)
Founded in Sydney, Australia in 2009 by Mitchell Harper and Eddie Machaalani, BigCommerce (NASDAQ:BIGC) provides software for businesses to easily create online stores.
BigCommerce reported revenues of $87.03 million, up 3.4% year on year. This print was in line with analysts' expectations, but overall, it was a slower quarter for the company with a miss of analysts' billings estimates.
'Over the last several months, we have focused on executing our go-to-market transformation, aligning our strategy, structure and messaging to reflect the full power of BigCommerce,' said Travis Hess, CEO of BigCommerce.
BigCommerce delivered the slowest revenue growth of the whole group. The stock is up 6% since reporting and currently trades at $7.10.

Perpetua Resources Announces US$300 Million Bought Deal Financing and US$100 Million Private Placement as part of Comprehensive Financing Package for Stibnite Gold Project
BOISE, Idaho, June 11, 2025 /CNW/ - Perpetua Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: PPTA) (TSX: PPTA) ("Perpetua Resources" or the "Company") announced today that it has entered into an agreement with National Bank of Canada Financial Markets and BMO Capital Markets, on behalf of themselves and a syndicate of underwriters (the "Underwriters") under which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a bought deal basis, 22,728,000 common shares, no par value, of the Company (the "Common Shares") at a price of US$13.20 per Common Share (the "Offering Price") for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately US$300 million (the "Offering"). National Bank of Canada Financial Markets and BMO Capital Markets are acting as joint lead bookrunning managers for the Offering. In connection with the Offering, Paulson & Co. Inc. has entered into an agreement to purchase US$100 million of Common Shares in a private placement (the "Private Placement") at the Offering Price. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering and the Private Placement as part of a comprehensive financing package for the development of the Company's Stibnite Gold Project (the "Project") in conjunction with the previously announced application for up to US$2 billion in project financing submitted to the Export-Import Bank of the United States ("EXIM") in May 2025. The Company intends to designate the proceeds of the Offering and the Private Placement toward equity requirements for the EXIM debt financing, with any additional funds intended to support exploration activities, working capital and general corporate purposes. EXIM's due diligence on the Company's application is ongoing and is conditional upon successfully completing the due diligence and underwriting process. If the due diligence process is successful, the Company anticipates closing the debt financing in 2026. Together with the EXIM debt financing and royalty financing described below, if successfully completed in the amounts anticipated, the Company believes that the net proceeds from the Offering and the Private Placement will provide the Company with sufficient capital to fund the Project construction costs of US$2.2 billion, along with additional funds for a cost-over run account, debt service, working capital costs in excess of the Project capital costs and exploration activities. In addition, the Company is in advanced discussions with potential partners for guarantees of the Company's obligations under reclamation bonds or other financial instruments that the Company will be required to enter into to satisfy financial assurance requirements applicable under applicable federal and state law. The Company is seeking a US$155 million guarantee and indemnification of the Company's obligations to surety providers in respect of reclamation bonds or other financial instruments, along with proceeds between US$200 million to US$250 million, in exchange for either a gold net smelter return ("NSR") royalty not to exceed 3.9% or a gold stream. A royalty, if any, would be expected to provide for buy back of a portion of the royalty if certain conditions are met. The US$155 million guarantee and indemnification is anticipated to be sufficient to satisfy the aggregate obligations of the Company to provide construction phase financial assurance as required by regulatory authorizations from relevant agencies. Securing the financial assurance in this amount is expected to position the Company to receive the USFS notice to proceed under the approved plan of operation and satisfy the financial assurance conditions of various federal and state permits, allowing the Company commence construction later in 2025. The proposed royalty and financial assurance arrangement is expected to be formalized in summer 2025. Based on indications from the relevant agencies, the Company expects the remaining state permits required to commence construction to be issued by the relevant agencies in summer 2025. Perpetua Resources has also granted the Underwriters an option (the "Option") to purchase up to an additional 3,409,200 Common Shares representing up to 15% of the number of Common Shares to be sold pursuant to the Offering. The Underwriters have 30 days from the closing of the Offering to exercise the Option. In connection with the Offering, an underwriting agreement will be entered into by and among Perpetua Resources, National Bank of Canada Financial Markets and BMO Capital Markets as representatives of the several Underwriters (the "Underwriting Agreement"). In the event that the Option is exercised in full, the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering will be approximately US$345 million. The Offering is expected to close on or about June 16, 2025. Closing of the Offering will be subject to a number of customary conditions to be included in the Underwriting Agreement. The Offering to the public in the United States is being made pursuant to the Company's effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-266071) (the "U.S. Registration Statement"), including a base prospectus, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Offering in the United States will be made only by means of a prospectus and related prospectus supplement meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. You may obtain these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC's website at Alternatively, copies of the U.S. Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus supplement and base prospectus may be obtained from National Bank of Canada Financial Markets, 130 King Street West, 4 th Floor Podium, Toronto, Ontario M5X 1J9, by email at [email protected] or by telephone at (416) 869-8414. The Offering may also be conducted in Canada and in offshore jurisdictions on a private placement basis in accordance with applicable securities laws. The Company intends to rely on the exemption in section 602.1 of the TSX Company Manual in respect of the Offering and the Private Placement as an eligible interlisted issuer. The Private Placement is expected to close concurrently with the closing of the Offering and is subject to customary conditions, including the completion of the Offering, but the Offering is not contingent upon the consummation of the Private Placement. The sale of the Common Shares under the Private Placement will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Since neither the fair market value of the Common Shares to be acquired by the Paulson (an insider of the Company), nor the consideration for the Common Shares paid by Paulson, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization as calculated in accordance with MI 61-101 (as defined below), the Private Placement is exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") pursuant to subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101. No securities regulatory authority has either approved or disapproved the contents of this news release. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy Common Shares, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. About Perpetua Resources and the Stibnite Gold Project Perpetua Resources Corp., through its wholly owned subsidiaries, is focused on the exploration, site restoration and redevelopment of gold-antimony-silver deposits in the Stibnite-Yellow Pine district of central Idaho that are encompassed by the Stibnite Gold Project. The Stibnite Gold Project is one of the highest-grade, open pit gold deposits in the United States and is designed to apply a modern, responsible mining approach to restore an abandoned mine site and produce both gold and the only mined source of antimony in the United States. Perpetua Resources has been awarded a Technology Investment Agreement of US$59.2 million in Defense Production Act Title III funding to advance construction readiness and permitting of the Stibnite Gold Project. Antimony trisulfide from Stibnite is the only known domestic reserves of antimony that can meet U.S. defense needs for many small arms, munitions, and missile types.

A funding commitment, if any, is conditional upon successfully completing the due diligence and underwriting process, which may not be completed on the expected timeline, or at all. If the Company's application is approved, there can be no assurance that the EXIM financing will be for the full amount indicated in the LOI or the increased amount requested in the application, or that the approved EXIM financing will be sufficient for the Company to commence construction of the Project.

Sandstorm Gold Royalties Portfolio Drilling and Exploration Highlights
VANCOUVER, BC, June 11, 2025 /CNW/ - Sandstorm Gold Ltd. ("Sandstorm Gold Royalties", "Sandstorm" or the "Company") (NYSE: SAND) (TSX: SSL) is pleased to provide various developments and exploration highlights within its diversified stream and royalty portfolio (dollar figures in USD unless otherwise indicated). First Majestic Silver Corp. ("First Majestic") has identified a significant gold-silver discovery on its Santa Elena property in Sonora, Mexico. The newly identified Santo Niño vein, located approximately 900 metres south of the Santa Elena processing plant, represents a significant addition to the district. The low-sulphidation, epithermal quartz-adularia vein has been traced over one kilometre along strike and 400 metres down-dip, with drilling to date confirming a mineralized core of approximately 600 metres by 220 metres. The discovery underscores the growing scale and potential of the Santa Elena district, which now hosts four major deposits, including Santa Elena and Santo Niño, which are both located within Sandstorm's stream area of interest. Exploration results from 14 drill intercepts at Santo Niño have returned significant gold and silver grades. Notably, hole SE-25-15 intersected 1.91 metres grading 8.38 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold and 248 g/t silver, including 0.43 metres of 27.5 g/t gold and 641 g/t silver. The results highlight the high-grade nature of the mineralization and its continuity across the western portion of the vein system. The structure remains open in multiple directions, and follow-up drilling is planned throughout 2025 to further delineate its extent and potential. The Santo Niño discovery complements the ongoing success at the Navidad deposit (not covered by Sandstorm's area of interest) where recent step-out drilling has expanded the mineralized footprint and returned some of the highest-grade intercepts ever recorded on the property. Together, Santo Niño and Navidad reinforce Santa Elena's status as a prolific, district-scale system with substantial upside. With nine rigs currently active, First Majestic is executing an aggressive exploration program aimed at unlocking further value and extending the mine life of this cornerstone asset. For more information, refer to First Majestic's website at and refer to the press release dated May 28, 2025. Sandstorm holds a gold stream on the Santa Elena mine, which includes the Santo Niño discovery, whereby the Company has the right to purchase 20% of the gold produced at Santa Elena for ongoing cash payments of $487 per ounce of gold. Fruta del Norte Expands 2025 Drilling Program to 108,000 Metres Lundin Gold Ltd. ("Lundin Gold") has expanded its 2025 drilling program at the Fruta del Norte mine ("FDN") in Ecuador to at least 108,000 metres, following the program's success in the first quarter of 2025 and the growing pipeline of targets. The revised program represents the largest annual drill program ever completed on the land package that hosts the FDN deposit. Additional drill results have been released from Lundin Gold's ongoing conversion and near-mine exploration program. High-grade intercepts from the conversion program at FDN South ("FDNS") have confirmed the deposit's continuity and identified additional mineralized zones. Studies are underway to integrate FDNS into FDN's 2026 long-term mine plan. Further high-grade results from FDN East continue to highlight the target's growth potential. At the recently discovered Trancaloma target, results confirm a copper-gold porphyry system at surface and highlight the potential for other porphyries near Trancaloma. At Bonza Sur, drilling confirms the mineral envelope and indicated the potential for further extension. Highlighted drill results include (not true widths): FDNS FDN-C25-196: 72.80 g/t gold over 7.95 metres from 67.60 metres, including 1,320.0 g/t gold over 0.40 metres; FDN-C25-204: 40.60 g/t gold over 13.90 metres from 43.80 metres, including 272.57 g/t gold over 1.90 metres; and FDN-C25-198: 48.82 g/t gold over 6.45 metres from 145.85 metres, including 616.00 g/t gold over 0.45 metres. FDN East UGE-E-25-248: 7.12 g/t gold over 14.30 metres from 229.85 metres and 4.62 g/t gold over 23.15 metres from 321.30 metres. Trancaloma Target TRL-2024-220: 0.41% copper, 0.10 g/t gold over 858.10 metres from 0.0 metres, including 0.54% copper and 0.14 g/t gold over 447.95 metres.

For more information and complete drill results, visit Lundin Gold's website at and refer to the press release dated May 7, 2025. Sandstorm holds a 0.9% net smelter returns ("NSR") royalty on the precious metals produced at FDN. All drill results reported by Lundin Gold at FDNS, FDN East, Trancaloma, and Bonza Sur are included within the area of interest of Sandstorm's precious metals royalty. 260 Metres Grading 3.29% Copper and 2.08 g/t Gold Intersected at Hugo North Extension Entrée Resources Ltd. ("Entrée") has released additional analytical results from drilling completed in 2022–2024 on the Hugo North Extension ("HNE") at the Oyu Tolgoi mine in Mongolia. The results are in addition to previously released assays in the latter half of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025, and Entrée will continue to release results as they become available from the company's joint venture partner Oyu Tolgoi LLC ("OTLLC"). Highlights from the drill results include: HNE Surface Hole UGD 189B: 552 metres grading 2.30% copper and 1.45 g/t gold from 1,226 metres, including 260 metres grading 3.29% copper and 2.08 g/t gold. HNE Underground Drill Holes UGD 871: 197 metres grading 1.07% copper and 0.38 g/t gold from 358 metres, including 89 metres grading 1.33% copper and 0.44 g/t gold; UGD 873A: 279 metres grading 1.12% copper and 0.16 g/t gold from 360 metres; and UGD 876: 169.3 metres grading 2.72% copper and 0.82 g/t gold from 224.7 metres, including 112 metres grading 3.33% copper and 0.81 g/t gold from 232 metres. The newly released results include one surface diamond drill hole and five underground diamond drill holes completed in 2024 on the Shivee Tolgoi mining license, along with one underground drill hole from the 2022 program. Each of the six diamond drill holes with newly reported assay results targeted mineralization within the potential Lift 2 block cave or area immediately to the east. Several drill holes reported in the May 14, 2025 release and previous news releases from Entrée have continued up to 200 metres vertically below the base of the potential Lift 2 block cave and remained in strong copper and gold mineralization. For more information and complete drill results, visit Entrée's website at and refer to the press release dated May 14, 2025. Sandstorm has a copper and precious metal stream with Entrée whereby the Company has the right to purchase 0.33% of the copper and 4.47% of the gold and silver produced at the HNE, and 0.33% of the copper and 3.39% of the gold and silver produced from the Heruga deposit. The Company will make ongoing cash payments of $0.50 per pound of copper, $220 per ounce of gold, and $5.00 per ounce of silver 1. Drill Results Reinforce District-Scale Potential of Odienné Project Awalé Resources Ltd. ("Awalé") continues to report on its 2025 drilling campaign at the Odienné project in Côte d'Ivoire. Results from drilling across three key targets—BBM Zone, Charger, and Empire—have returned multiple high-grade gold and polymetallic intercepts, reinforcing the district-scale potential of the project. BBM Zone, Charger, and Empire are part of a broader pipeline of targets at Odienné, where Awalé is executing an 18,000-metre drill campaign. The project is being advanced as a potential mining camp with multiple feed sources for a central processing facility. BBM Zone Awalé has released the final results from a 22-hole, 6,380-metre drill program at the BBM Zone, confirming a broad gold-copper system extending over 1 kilometre of strike and to depths of 300 metres. Notably, hole OEDD-131 returned 45.0 metres of 1.4 g/t gold and 0.41% copper from 220 metres, including 4.0 metres of 2.6 g/t gold and 0.55% copper. The BBM Zone remains open down plunge, with a 300-metre-wide higher-grade core and multiple satellite targets identified within two to three kilometres, representing a key component of Awalé's broader exploration strategy at the Odienné project. Charger Target At the Charger target, Awalé reported high-grade gold and polymetallic intercepts from nine diamond drill holes, including: OEDD-120: 26.0 metres of 12.0 g/t gold from 146 metres; OEDD-118: 95.0 metres of 1.8 g/t gold from 170 metres; and OEDD-121: 4.0 metres of 18.5 g/t gold and 3.03% copper from 67 metres. Additionally, a new parallel mineralized breccia zone was discovered 50 metres west of the main corridor, with 26.0 metres of 2.0 g/t gold in hole OEDD-137. These results support the presence of multiple mineralized structures and highlight the scalability of the Charger system. Empire Target Awalé has resumed drilling at the Empire target, which is the company's first high-grade gold discovery at Odienné, discovered in 2019. Empire sits within a 20 kilometre west-northwest trending structure corridor, and 2.5 kilometres south of the Charger discovery. Six diamond drill holes at Empire were completed, totalling 1,168 metres, and intersected significant mineralization, including: OEDD-127: 15.0 metres of 5.2 g/t gold from 215 metres, including 10.0 metres of 7.5 g/t gold; OEDD-114: 16.0 metres of 3.0 g/t gold from 44 metres; and OEDD-124: 19.0 metres of 2.3 g/t gold from 76 metres. Exploration at Empire to date has covered only 5 kilometres of the Empire trend, with significant potential for further expansion. The results confirm the continuity of mineralization at depth and along strike, with Empire remaining open in multiple directions. For more information, including complete drill results, visit Awalé's website at and refer to the press releases dated April 8, 17, and May 12, 2025. Sandstorm holds a 2.0% NSR royalty on the Odienné project. Omai Gold Mines Drills 28.04 g/t Gold over 9.3 Metres at Wenot Omai Gold Mines Corp. ("Omai") has released assay results from the 2025 drill program at the Omai gold mine in Guyana ("OGM"). A total of 15,639 metres of drilling has been completed in 2025, surpassing the planned 15,000 metres program as results continue to extend the known limits of the gold mineralization at Wenot. Additionally, several holes have been drilled in West Wenot—an area which lies outside of any previous mining and includes a significant part of the Wenot Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE"). Omai believes West Wenot could be suitable for a starter pit in a production scenario. Highlighted drill results include: Wenot Deposit 25ODD-103 & 103W: 3.56 g/t gold over 21.8 metres from 524.2 metres; 25ODD-103W: 3.93 g/t gold over 7.0 metres from 499.0 metres and 5.66 g/t gold over 4.3 metres from 560.0 metres; and 25ODD-102: 28.04 g/t gold over 9.3 metres from 361.2 metres, including 252.36 g/t gold over 1.0 metres. West Wenot 25ODD-116: 2.63 g/t gold over 27.5 metres from 471.5 metres; 25ODD-111: 4.87 g/t gold over 9.5 metres from 317.0 metres, including 10.92 g/t gold over 4.0 metres; and 25ODD-109: 2.37 g/t gold over 15.0 metres from 79.0 metres. Omai has also announced that drilling has begun on a deep hole that will initially drill across the Gilt Creek deposit, then continue a further 600–800 metres to explore the extension of the Wenot gold zones. The hole is expected to drill roughly 600 metres below the known Wenot deposit. Once South America's largest producing gold mine, the OGM produced over 3.7 million ounces ("Moz") of gold between 1993 and 2005.

For more information visit: CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS TO U.S. SECURITYHOLDERS The financial information included or incorporated by reference in this press release or the documents referenced herein has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, which differs from US generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") in certain material respects, and thus are not directly comparable to financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP. This press release and the documents incorporated by reference herein, as applicable, have been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards for the reporting of mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates, which differ from the previous and current standards of the United States securities laws. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms "mineral reserve", "proven mineral reserve", "probable mineral reserve", "inferred mineral resources,", "indicated mineral resources," "measured mineral resources" and "mineral resources" used or referenced herein and the documents incorporated by reference herein, as applicable, are Canadian mineral disclosure terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 — Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") — CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Definition Standards"). For United States reporting purposes, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules (the "SEC Modernization Rules") to modernize the mining property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the Exchange Act, which became effective February 25, 2019. The SEC Modernization Rules more closely align the SEC's disclosure requirements and policies for mining properties with current industry and global regulatory practices and standards, including NI 43-101, and replace the historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants that were included in SEC Industry Guide 7. Issuers were required to comply with the SEC Modernization Rules in their first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021. As a foreign private issuer that is eligible to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system, the Corporation is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the SEC Modernization Rules and will continue to provide disclosure under NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, mineral reserve and mineral resource information contained or incorporated by reference herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by United States companies subject to the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC now recognizes estimates of "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources." In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of "proven mineral reserves" and "probable mineral reserves" to be "substantially similar" to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards that are required under NI 43-101. While the SEC will now recognize "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources", U.S. investors should not assume that all or any part of the mineralization in these categories will be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves without further work and analysis. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to its existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally mineable without further work and analysis. Further, "inferred mineral resources" have a greater amount of uncertainty and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, U.S. investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of inferred mineral resources will be upgraded to a higher category without further work and analysis. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of "inferred mineral resources" may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. While the above terms are "substantially similar" to CIM Definitions, there are differences in the definitions under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as "proven mineral reserves", "probable mineral reserves", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the reserve or resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules or under the prior standards of SEC Industry Guide 7.
