The following is taken from Simon's article in IC on 29th October 2019.
Trading on a bargain basement cash-adjusted PE ratio of 5, a multiple that would halve if the rhodium price holds at the current level and analysts upgrade their profit forecasts as I have outlined above, Sylvania shares are by some distance my top pick in the mining sector. For good measure, the share price has pulled back from summer highs and retested its long-term bull market 200-day moving average, so this looks an ideal time from a technical perspective to exploit the chronic undervaluation, and one that offers potentially 79 per cent upside to my 60p long-term target price. Income seekers please note that analysts at Liberum are pencilling in a hike in the payout per share from 1¢ to 1.74¢ (1.36p), so the prospective dividend yield of 4 per cent is pretty healthy, too.
So, having included the shares, at 14.5p, in my market beating 2018 Bargain Shares portfolio, and banked dividends of 1.13p a share, I rate Aim-traded shares in the £94m market capitalisation company a strong buy on a bid-offer spread of 33p to 34p ahead of second quarter results in January. Strong buy.
Given that Simon's Bargain Shares list comes out this Friday and he has a habit of including shares from previous years if they are still a great bargain then I would not be surprised IMHO to see SLP in there. GLA
