Low ratio28 Jun 2018 11:15
Whether you consider P/E ratio or EV / EBITDA I still cannot get my head around why we have such a low ratio. Assuming a low $30,000 profit per tonne it works out as ~3.7. We should be at least double that, or more realistically treble that.
If you assume $40,000 profit per tonne then our current ratio is ~2.8
Given our prospects our ratio should be much higher, suggesting that the company valuation by the market is purely based upon buying pressure, and not on fundamentals. The price was dropped to stimulate buying, and release shares for those buyers.
So why is the buying pressure low - SA, broker ratings, mining charter, poor PR. Hopefully at some point this will turn and buying pressure will increase significantly. The information about BMN is out there, just not many people seem to read and/or believe it.
