The Ethical Read
The Read, in Plain English
U.S. Gold clears the business-activity screen and the figures we can measure look clean, but its income-purity figure is still pending, so the verdict is not final yet.
Read as at 2026-11-02. It updates when the underlying figures move, and past reads are kept below.
What the Numbers Say It Is Worth
The Fair Value Range
Fair value under review. Our model's value is 2.57x the price, above our 1.35x limit. We show no fair value, margin of safety or value read built on it until the review clears.
Another profit measure, before interest, tax and non-cash costs: EBITDA.
The risks · The things to watch: it's a small-cap, so the share price can swing harder than the market.
