Market Cap: CA$120.18M
Thinkific Labs Inc., with a market cap of CA$120.18 million, has shown mixed performance as a penny stock. Despite its revenue growth to US$72.08 million, the company's return on equity remains low at 0.6%, and earnings are forecasted to decline significantly by 91.5% annually over the next three years.

Recent activities include filing for a CA$300 million shelf registration and executing share buybacks, indicating strategic moves towards capital management and shareholder value enhancement amidst challenging profit margins.

Market Cap: CA$178.79M
Chesapeake Gold Corp., with a market cap of CA$178.79 million, is pre-revenue and currently unprofitable, as evidenced by its recent third-quarter net loss of CA$1.77 million. The company maintains a debt-free status and has not significantly diluted shareholders over the past year. Its exploration agreement extension for the Metates property in Mexico highlights ongoing development efforts, while proprietary sulphide leach testwork progresses on schedule.
