To own shares of TMC The Metals Company, one must believe in both the company’s vision of unlocking deep-sea mineral resources and the regulatory path to bring those minerals to market profitably. The latest news, progress in talks with U.S. agencies and hints that production could begin before 2027, directly addresses the most significant short-term catalyst: regulatory approval for commercial mining. While the company’s estimated US$23.6 billion resource value and its strong liquidity have spurred bullish sentiment, these only matter if TMC can convert these resources into real revenues. However, substantial risks remain front and center, especially ongoing heavy losses and open legal challenges, with no commercial revenues yet generated and dilution of shareholders over the past year. The recent rally has arguably amplified sensitivity to both positive regulatory updates and setbacks, making these developments materially more significant for near-term price moves than suggested by earlier risk assessments.
But, on the flip side, the unresolved class action lawsuit still presents a serious overhang for shareholders. Upon reviewing our latest valuation report, TMC the metals’ share price might be too optimistic.
