TSX:ITH Income Statement, July 25th 2019
Could ITH's size cause it to be more volatile?
With a market capitalisation of CA$153m, International Tower Hill Mines is a very small company by global standards. It is quite likely to be unknown to most investors. It is not unusual for very small companies to have a low beta value, especially if only low volumes of shares are traded. Even when they are traded more actively, the share price is often more susceptible to company specific developments than overall market volatility.
What this means for you:
One potential advantage of owning low beta stocks like International Tower Hill Mines is that your overall portfolio won't be too sensitive to overall market movements. However, this can be a blessing or a curse, depending on what's happening in the broader market. This article aims to educate investors about beta values, but it's well worth looking at important company-specific fundamentals such as International Tower Hill Mines’s financial health and performance track record.
