TMC The Metals Company Inc. (Nasdaq: TMC) faced a significant sell-off in its stock following the release of its Q2 2025 earnings report. The stock fell by 8.6% after the company reported a net loss of $0.20 per share and an operating loss of $22 million. Despite these financial setbacks, management highlighted a Q4 2027 timeline for commercial operations and released studies suggesting a net present value (NPV) of $23.6 billion for its mining projects.The company's second-quarter results showed a total cash balance of approximately $115.8 million at June 30, 2025, with $10.6 million used in operations during the quarter. The net loss of $74.3 million was primarily attributed to the costs associated with the development of its polymetallic nodule projects.
In a positive development, TMC received full compliance from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on its exploration applications, confirming its priority rights over exploration areas. The company also released two economic studies with a combined NPV of $23.6 billion, underscoring the potential economic viability of its NORI-D Project and other areas.
However, investors were not pleased with the Q4 2027 timeline for commercial operations, which has contributed to the stock's decline. Despite the recent sell-off, TMC's stock remains up 339% year to date, reflecting the significant growth experienced by the company in 2025.
