2/2
Amc has previously been valued at all of these share prices but non of the capitalisations. Capitalisations have reached (using £170m - 2015) 77.3%, 54.0% and 64.6% respectively. At non of those points in time were the current fundamentals and valuation (due to understandable, realistic, strategic path towards end game (production/sale (from position of strength)) outlook so strong, imo. Personally agree with CT suggestion of 40-50% npv possibly more given project scarcity.
On top of this dynamic is tax consideratiom, 20k can fit into a single annual isa wrapper, 40k or 100k cannot. Therefore 100k return on the '20k stake' is likely 'worth' more after taxes are paid.
I know this is mainly a statement of the obvious and a long winded version of high risk = high reward but the past mcap aspect was a bit of an eye opener for me.
After considering the above, I ask myself......
What is harder/more likely, a repeat of a mcap spike on prior speculation of a successful end game (see giga), or actually achieveing (without subsequent curve balls) all the real world milestones that create a genuinely 'deserved' soaring valuation at or on the immediate lead up to such an end game.
The earlier the takeover the lesser the strength of this arguement, imo.
In some ways and to some extent the latter drives the former (obviously) but the dynamics previously are interesting especially considering 2015 was within a general commodity cyclical low ebb.
Imv the mid orphan section of the lessonde curve where amc reside (a normal low valuation point) has been amplified by several market factors (brexit, covid, previous clns, secular deflation, dollar strength, momentum etc) and a correction, due to recent developments, seems due (an over correction could easily occur).
Therefore is the risk really higher down here? (Prediction of Ni/Cu/iron ore prices and market sentiment is the key).
Not saying Ive pre-planned to sell at any particular point merely an outline of possibilities/likelihoods of certain metrics with some precedent basis.
