Revised valuation
We have revised our valuation to reflect the full dilution from the share and convertible bond issue. Our model now assumes fully diluted shares in issue of 9,410m (excluding employee exceptional target awards).
Our base case NPV for the project using $125/t POLY4 and an 8% WACC is $8.353bn, equating to a fully diluted NPV of 68p per share. We set our target price at c.60% P/NPV, or 40p (down from 50p).
Our valuation has the potential to be quickly flexed higher as the project is derisked and moves towards first production in 2021. If we roll forward our NPV to that point and apply spot POLY4 pricing ($140/t), our NPV rises to 97p.
