Key numbers explained

• The share price is 0.94 AUD, down -3.59% today, and the company's market capitalisation is 3B AUD — a measure of the total value of all its shares.
• The trailing P/E ratio of 31.3 means the price is about 31 times the last twelve months of earnings per share (0.03 AUD). The forward P/E of 8.3 is based on expected earnings, so the gap between the two reflects how much earnings growth the market anticipates.
• Revenue over the trailing twelve months is 639.14M AUD, with year-over-year growth of 118.9% — a figure that signals rapid expansion, typical of a newly producing lithium miner.
• The profit margin is 14.5% and the operating margin is 27.1%, showing how much of each unit of revenue turns into profit after costs.
• The dividend yield is 0%, with 0% of earnings paid out as dividends; the last ex-dividend date was May 29, 2018, so returns here come from the share price, not income.
• The beta of 1.35 suggests the stock tends to move more sharply than the overall market.
• Over the last 52 weeks the price ranged from 0.88 to 2.65 AUD, and is down -2.1% over that period.
• The debt-to-equity ratio is 34.3%, the return on equity is 9%, and the price-to-book ratio is 2.03.

What to watch

As a lithium-focused producer, Liontown Resources (LTR) is sensitive to lithium prices, which are set globally and can swing widely. Mining stocks in this corner of the ASX — like Fortescue (FMG) or Rio Tinto (RIO) — are also affected by production levels, project development milestones, and operating costs. The next earnings date is Sep 24, 2026, when results will update the picture on margins and output. Broader demand for battery materials, currency movements, and the general direction of the ASX 200 and the wider market of ASX stocks also shape how the share trades.
