...so hopefully back to valuation.
Yancoal Australia much bigger production than TGA or Whithaven Coal, some 40 million tone sale.
Market Cap right now £2.2 billions.
H1 to June 2021 Rev 1.77billions Au$, and loss of 177mil le tax benefit to a loss of 129mil AU$.
539 mil cash but a current al long term debit of roughly 4.5billions. (double market capital)
Well between Yancoal and Withaven they both didn't managed to make a profit not even during 6 month to June21, when coal prices start to rise. They seems to have higher cash costs per tone compared to TGA, which is one of its strength if Rand behave.
One would assume that recent coal price rise post June is priced in for the Australian producers, their sp is rising so current market cap should be a benchmark for valuation comparison with TGA.
Even between Yancoal and Whitehaven the fact that they have a similar market cap is puzzling, I suspect much larger production base of Yancoal is a great advantage when price start to rise, but in the other hand they also have a much bigger debit.
Thungela has no debit and some cash at bank. Similar production of Whitehaven but the managed to make a decent profit for the month of June. Mind you I am looking forward for q3 results as confirmation of consistency with accounting...
But even if we disregard the profit for June21, assuming a break even, TGA is still valued one fifth of Whitehaven, which also has 1 billion AU$ in Debit and higher cash cost/t.
