Investment Highlights
Why It Matters
Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?
1. Generates cash flow
The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.
2. Riding a trend
Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Why The Stock Moved
Qualitative Assessment
AI Generated Analysis | Feedback
Here are the key points highlighting why Skeena Resources (SKE) stock moved by 24% between August 31, 2025, and December 4, 2025:
1. Successful Capital Raises for Project Advancement
Skeena Resources successfully closed a C$143.8 million bought deal financing in early October 2025, providing significant capital intended for the continued advancement of its flagship Eskay Creek gold-silver project. This capital infusion is crucial for a development-stage company focused on bringing a major project into production.
2. Permitting Delays Impacting Eskay Creek Project
Despite securing financing, the company announced an unanticipated delay in the permitting process for the Eskay Creek project due to a British Columbia government employee strike. This regulatory hurdle could have introduced uncertainty and acted as a potential drag on investor sentiment during the period.
