Three straight loss years and decade-stale FY2015 filings make GFI's 43x P/E meaningless — too unknowable to underwrite now.
Net income -$345M · FY2015
The read
Weak on both the fundamentals and the price — little to like at the current level.
Start with the data integrity problem, because it dominates everything else. The latest annual fundamentals provided are FY2015, yet the price ($38.60) and the headline P/E are current. Worse, that 42.9x P/E is computed off a FY2012 diluted EPS of $0.90 — three years older than the latest balance sheet — while over the most recent reported year (FY2015) the company actually lost $345M. A multiple built on a stale, pre-downturn EPS against a year of real losses is not a valuation; it is an artifact. Nothing in this dataset lets us tie the $38.60 quote to any underlying earnings or book value.
What the numbers we do have show is deterioration. Net income ran $882M (FY2011) → $654M (FY2012) → -$248M (FY2013) → -$27.2M (FY2014) → -$345M (FY2015): two profit years followed by three straight losses, with the final year the worst. ROE is -13.5%. Stockholders' equity fell 28.9% YoY, total assets fell 18.3%, retained earnings dropped 52.6%, and the dividend was cut 49.3% to $15.1M. This is the profile of a gold/silver miner caught in the post-2012 bullion price collapse — high operating leverage that swung a +$882M result to a -$345M loss in four years.

AVOID means we wouldn't engage at all — if expressing the short side anyway, only with capped risk.
Educational template, not a trade recommendation. Strikes and premiums are Black-Scholes model estimates from the last close and 30-day realized volatility — real chains, spreads and IV will differ. Options involve substantial risk.
