Over about 2 years to 2026-07-31. This is the share price only - reinvesting the dividends would add to it. Past performance is not a guide to the future, and it could just as easily have fallen.
Based on beta - how much the price swings versus the whole market. Bumpier isn't bad; it just means a rougher ride, which matters more the sooner you might need the money.

What does Endeavour Mining do?
Endeavour Mining runs gold mines dotted across several West African countries. Its net margin: How much of each £1 of sales becomes profit after all costs. Higher = more profitable per sale. and return on equity: How much profit the company makes for each £1 shareholders have put in. Higher usually means a more efficient business. are high and revenue has been growing strongly - but that's as much about where the gold price sits as any company-specific brilliance. As with any miner staking everything on one metal spread across developing-market jurisdictions, results ride on both the gold price and how politically stable its host countries are. The one thing worth watching -> despite the strong margins and growth, the momentum screener score is comparatively weak, hinting at recent share-price softness even as the underlying numbers improved.
