PainChek (ASX:PCK) adds AU$13m to market cap in the past 7 days, though investors from five years ago are still down 71%

Yahoo07-05-2025

It is a pleasure to report that the PainChek Limited (ASX:PCK) is up 56% in the last quarter. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last half decade have been stomach churning. Five years have seen the share price descend precipitously, down a full 72%. It's true that the recent bounce could signal the company is turning over a new leaf, but we are not so sure. The fundamental business performance will ultimately determine if the turnaround can be sustained.
On a more encouraging note the company has added AU$13m to its market cap in just the last 7 days, so let's see if we can determine what's driven the five-year loss for shareholders.
AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early.
PainChek isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.
In the last half decade, PainChek saw its revenue increase by 50% per year. That's better than most loss-making companies. So it's not at all clear to us why the share price sunk 11% throughout that time. You'd have to assume the market is worried that profits won't come soon enough. We'd recommend carefully checking for indications of future growth - and balance sheet threats - before considering a purchase.

A Different Perspective
It's nice to see that PainChek shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 38% over the last year. That certainly beats the loss of about 11% per year over the last half decade. We generally put more weight on the long term performance over the short term, but the recent improvement could hint at a (positive) inflection point within the business. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand PainChek better, we need to consider many other factors. Like risks, for instance. Every company has them, and we've spotted 3 warning signs for PainChek (of which 1 is a bit unpleasant!) you should know about.

Edison Issues Report on DUG Technology (DUG)

London, United Kingdom--(Newsfile Corp. - June 10, 2025) - Edison issues report on DUG Technology (ASX: DUG). DUG Technology (DUG) provides seismic data processing services and software primarily to the oil and gas industry. As a small but innovative player in the field, the recent launch of elastic multi-parameter full waveform inversion (MP-FWI) technology gives the company the opportunity to gain market share despite the uncertain industry outlook. The recent Q325 update confirmed that order intake has returned to growth, supporting our forecasts for a recovery in revenue and profitability from FY26.

Expansion of Tolmer ‘Silver Zone' Drilling Program

Early surface reconnaissance and drilling progress sharpen silver focus HIGHLIGHTS Current ~2,500m reverse circulation (RC) drilling program underway at Tolmer discovery; planned gold drilling reallocated to prioritise silver zone following early observations1Additional target holes added north, east, south and west of high-grade 'discovery line'2 ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA / ACCESS Newswire / June 9, 2025 / Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX:BGD)(FRA:BGD3)(OTCQB:BGDFF) (Barton or Company) is pleased to provide an update for RC drilling underway at its recent 'Tolmer' high grade silver discovery, located at the Company's South Australian Tarcoola Gold Project (Tarcoola).1 Drilling recently started at Tolmer with a priority focus on the western 'silver zone'.1 Planned gold drilling will now be deferred in favour of extending drilling at the silver zone, ahead of anticipated follow-up programs starting as early as late July. Figure 1 - Tolmer 'western silver' & 'eastern gold' zones showing expanded silver drilling lines Commenting on the revised drilling program, Barton Managing Director Alexander Scanlon said: "Based upon early observations we are refocusing all current Tolmer drilling on the western 'silver zone'. We will expedite these assays to inform near-term follow-up programs, likely to include orientation diamond drilling." Growing 'silver zone' footprint Barton identified Tolmer as a high-grade gold discovery in August 2024, and subsequently identified a new 'silver zone' ~500m west in a line of seven discovery holes with globally significant assays including:3 On 22 May Barton commenced a planned program of ~2,500m RC drilling which was designed to infill and extend both the western 'silver zone' and the eastern 'gold zone'.4 Based upon further geological surface reconnaissance and early observations from drilling, it was decided to expand the 'silver zone' drilling program to gather a larger amount of data on this area with the remaining time available in this program. Seven drill holes originally planned for the eastern 'gold zone' have been re-allocated to eight new drill holes in the western 'silver zone', expanding the planned drilling from three to five lines of RC holes. The total Tolmer drilling program has been expanded from a planned ~2,500m to a revised total of ~2,850m. Drilling of the expanded 'silver program' is now anticipated to finish this week, following which assays will be expedited for laboratory analysis and planning of follow up drilling programs. These will likely include additional RC drilling (including in the gold zone) and diamond drilling for structural orientation.
