EPS and a weird current break16 Jan 2017 15:34
of the rise
Am finding the current consolidation a little weird yet am convinced its just a nice consolidation before next leg up
Taking a look at 2015 EPS of around 20p or $0.23 P/E ratio currently at 6,61 , I find it very likely that 2016 EPS will dwarf 2015s , in fact we know that already . We have been told that our cash reserves are up $110m to $145 vs $35m in Dec 2015 . Earnings will be up too .
If we were to take 30p as the soon to be reported next EPS , assuming a similar P/E ratio we have around 198p target ! Like for like . And 2017 so far has seen prices higher by quite a bit ( $58 vs nearly $80) . So again even 198p could be very conservative looking forward should iron ore prices and demand stay at current levels.
The rally we saw has been great but on an EPS of 30p ( my prediction ) and current P/E ratio we are looking underpriced by quite a bit . Hence I assume a similar thought process at Deutsche and their 205p target back in Nov. I bet its higher now .
Consolidating till we get the next level up IMO
DYOR and no advice given , all my data comes from the RNS , P/E ratio is currently 6,61 on a 130p price , EPS for 2015 was 20p using today's FX rate of about 1.20 £GBP/USD . ( dollar strength is something that should be beneficial to FXPO )
