Reviewing my valuations for EGA.AX (originally posted here).
In summary:
Now the following producers are trading at P/Es (data sourced from Yahoo Finance):
- On peer analysis with developers (averaged) EAR.AX and CDN.AX we should be at $0.37 current fair valuation
- On peer analysis (averaged) against producers PNR.AX, DCN.AX and GCY.AX we can set a 18-month target of $0.87. Perhaps reasonable to see them producing at nameplate within 18 months.
- On an earnings basis using P/E 10.0 we can perhaps set a price target of $1.64 (30 month price target after payback)
So P/E 10.0 is perhaps a good conservative P/E to use for EGA.AX once they reach a steady run-rate equivalent to nameplate production and all debt has been paid off. So perhaps a 30 month price target for this ( assuming an 18 month payback and commissioning and ramp-up in 2020 ).
- PNR.AX at P/E 14.4
- SAR.AX at P/E 32.0
- RRL.AX at P/E 14.2
- SBM.AX at P/E 10.3
My earnings-based estimate suggests 5-6 bags of profit after payback (perhaps 30 months for this point). This is roughly what occurred for PNR over a 3-4 year period.
We may not see further dilution once they achieve finance (beyond items already identified in the 3B). They should have around $5M left in the bank at the end of the December quarter. Although ... will they try and give some upside to equity investors via a partial placement. But for now I am assuming no further dilution.
(Ignore interest and losses lines below - basis is all losses accounted for and all debt paid off. For simplicity just assumed depreciation and amortisation is 10% of EBITDA)
Interesting to look at share price movement for PNR. At one point it 5 to 6-bagged for buyers who were in it from 5c. I think we could see a similar story play out for PNR in a 2-4 year time frame ... particularly if we have a gold bull run.
EGA also has upside from exploration. Smart thing for them to do would be continue their exploration in parallel with construction. Be able to grow their resource/reserves and production capacity ready for when the mine has been paid off.
