Capstone Mining Corp's stock has seen a notable increase of 20.81% in the past month.
With a market cap of approximately C$12.37 billion and a profit margin of 17.8%, Capstone is positioned competitively in the materials sector, but its beta of 2.18 indicates higher volatility compared to the market.
