Chrysos stock comes into this earnings read on a strong run, with the shares up about 41% over the past month and sitting at A$7.78 at the last close. That kind of run up suggests that expectations were already intense.
The headline from the FY26 result is simple. Chrysos is now a profitable, cash-generative assay technology business with revenue of about A$88.1m and earnings from continuing operations of A$1.79m over the last twelve months. The emotional tug of a high P/S of 10.2x now collides with a business that is starting to put real profit behind the story.

For investors leaning bullish on Chrysos, the latest figures support the idea of a maturing mining tech platform. Revenue of A$88.1m and EBITDA of A$27.2m both moved ahead of operating costs, which helped the company report earnings from continuing operations of A$1.79m. Cash from operations of A$17.9m and a largely contracted revenue base through Minimum Monthly Assay Payments suggest the core PhotonAssay model is gaining traction across regions without stretching the balance sheet.
The bear story is not fully resolved. Basic EPS remains in loss territory at A$0.0421 per share, which shows that depreciation, financing and non cash items still weigh on statutory profitability. Capital intensity is also clear, with A$36.3m of growth capex and a A$200m facility that increases financial obligations if deployment or sample volumes slow. Execution risk around unit roll out and site readiness therefore stays central to the near term risk profile, even as current trends look favourable.
