Soma's Q4 report was abysmal. Lots of similarities with Asante ($ASE.v), i.e. overpromising and underdelivering. Like Asante, Soma promised substantial production growth, but failed to deliver. The result: crashing share prices in both cases. I still believe that Asante will ultimately achieve a much higher production level, whether it will be 400 koz per year as guided last year remains to be seen. In the case of Soma, I'm not so sure any more. I think production can increase to a 30 koz annual runrate by the end of this year, but whether the company manages to achieve much higher production numbers as previously guided for 2027 and beyond remains to be seen.
