SA
Seabridge Gold Inc. (SA) Economic Moat Analysis (2026)
Overall Score
Profitability Returns
Margins remain effectively zero, with TTM gross, operating, EBITDA, and net profit margins all at 0.0% or below.
Returns are still negative, with ROA at -3.9%, ROE at -6.4%, and ROIC at -1.1%, indicating no demonstrated economic moat in current operations.
Balance Sheet Liquidity
Liquidity remains strong, with a current ratio of 6.7x and cash ratio of 3.7x, providing a cushion despite weak operating performance.
Leverage is manageable at the capital structure level, with debt-to-equity at 0.46x and debt-to-assets at 31.1%, though solvency metrics remain pressured by negative earnings.
Cash Generation
Operating cash flow and free cash flow are both negative on a TTM basis, with FCF yield at -3.4% and operating cash flow yield deeply negative.
Cash conversion remains poor, as negative operating cash flow and capex coverage indicate the business is not self-funding from current operations.
Valuation Market Expectations
The stock screens as optically cheap on some asset-based measures, but the market is still assigning a premium to book value at 4.0x P/B.
Negative earnings and cash flow make earnings-based and cash-flow-based valuation multiples difficult to interpret, limiting confidence in any moat-based premium.
