  • Alkane Resources Shares Soar 177% in 12 Months Despite EPS Decline
    February 1, 2026, 5:42 PM EST. Alkane Resources Ltd (ASX:ALK) investors have seen a 177% return over the past year, with the stock also rising 63% in the last quarter. However, this surge occurred despite a 30% drop in earnings per share (EPS). The company's revenue grew by 82% year-on-year, suggesting that top-line growth, rather than profit, has been driving the share price. Insiders have been buying shares recently, indicating management confidence. Over three years, the stock has risen 139%, reflecting long-term positive sentiment. Analysts remain cautious, pointing to the need to monitor future earnings and potential risks. Alkane's recent rally may signal business momentum, but investors should consider multiple factors beyond share price performance before making decisions.
