EMH/ZNWD the bull case to EMH18 May 2021 12:18
People here are generally sceptical about this eventuality.
I respectfully disagree. As you know, I own both EMH and ZNWD, and a consolidation of the resources is actually core to my bull case on both stocks. I see strong m EU political backing for such project to create the largest EU lithium resource in the continent, I see both companies’ shareholders winning. At today’s EMH price, this optionality comes for FREE.
I reiterate my calculations.
Were EMH to buy Zinnwald/its asset - this would be immediately value accretive to EMH shareholders - and not marginally so - likely 50%-100% depending on price paid.
And this does not even factor in ANY synergies in my calculations. And there would be substantial amounts of synergies, in my view - think additional volumes taken on vs capex savings from infrastructure, think subsequent project IRR uplift.
This estimate range is not wishful thinking, it’s simple maths. When an acquirer buys a target, where the target trades at 3-4x discount to the acquirer its immediate accretive. Reason? People will then value the combined entity at acquirer’s multiple.
EMH shareholders should instead be salivating about such potential upside optionality, in addition to the usual EMH bull thesis (stock cheap, possibility to double output, location etc).
