I was just trying to do that...
SP is getting close to all time high and many (me included) will wonder if is now time to sale.
On a technical view this is the case...320/300 is not just a resistance point it is an all time high, and one has to expect some resistance/consolidation.
The question is will the price pull back for then stay lower for long or will it briefly consolidate there to pull away to new heights?
My analyses is a mix of technical and fundamentals and is an approach I use almost always for mid/long term investment decisions.
To start I am looking at FXPO sp all time high back in November 2017 and look at the same time the Iron ore 62% price (as benchmark price) to my surprise back then iron ore was 60$/t, less than half of today price.
Than I consider that back then the Kostyantin Zhevago saga of tax evasion was yet not out on the maker price.
I am now looking at the sp graph of FXPO on the 30 November this year, the day sp broke out from a channel price range.
I consider the news of Kyiv Court lifting of share restriction a massive game changer for FXPO, this rns came together with q3 production report. Note that even if q3 production report was somehow disappointing the sp start to rise till these days....
We all knew that q3 production was going to less for this quarter, but one would expect that with sp at the top of the channel it can only go back down.
In my opinion the market is rerating FXPO and pricing in the fact that Kostyantin Zhevago tax evasion is out of the way.
Moreover we have to factor in Iron ore price rising, this is driven by China economy been immune to covid 19 and in mid/long terms we will have also the reopening of the rest of the world economies which probably will push iron ore price even higher....
Another fundamental factor to price in is FXPO production increase going forward and finally debit reduction compare to when FXPO sp reached all time high back in November 2017.
All these considerations are to support the idea that this time FXPO sp will reach new height beyond 330p.
How much to value FXPO ?
Will it get to a modest PE of 10?
That would imply more than double today sp, no debits and still paying a nice 5/6% dividends.
I suppose time will tell, ne thing I am almost sure though is that current sp rise is relentless and looks more a rerating rather than iron ore price on the up. DYOR
