I assume you are referring to the company "Compania de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A." (BVN) which is a Peruvian based mining company listed on the U.S. stock exchange under the ticker symbol "BVN". The company is engaged in the exploration, mining, and processing of mineral resources, including gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc.
As of their most recent earnings report in February 2021, the company reported a net income of $125.5 million for the full year 2020, representing a decrease from the $201.7 million net income reported in 2019. However, it is important to note that the decrease in net income was mainly due to lower metal prices caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In terms of growth, the company has been able to maintain a steady production of minerals over the past few years, with gold and silver production remaining relatively stable. However, copper production has seen a slight decline in recent years. In 2020, the company produced 477,000 ounces of gold, 25.8 million ounces of silver, and 25,162 tonnes of copper.
Looking forward, the company is well positioned for growth, with a strong balance sheet, a diversified portfolio of assets, and a focus on operational efficiency and cost management. Additionally, the outlook for commodity prices, particularly for gold and copper, is positive, which bodes well for the company's financial performance in the coming years.
