They are SERIOUSLY undervalued!!!16 May 2019 16:42
I've been in touch with the company today to try and work out how much longer Kestrel will provide revenue, I'd guestimated about 2 years - but actually, even with the 40% uplift in production it's probably got c.5.85 years left - that's amazing!
Here's how I calculated this out (which matches what the company told me).
If you look on the investor relations page there's a map showing "where mining is now" - that was uploaded in Sept 2014. If you look at the presentation here: https://www.anglopacificgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/190501-2019-AGM-Presentation-print-version-FINAL.pdf - it has an updated map with where the mining is today.
It's taken roughly 4 years (probably a bit longer - but I'm trying to be conservative) to mine that far.
Assuming the map is to scale, and simply using a ruler and a bit of maths - if the mining continued at it's historic rate, then Kestrel would be providing royalties for c.8.2 years.
With a 40% increase in production (and of course so a 40% uplift in royalties to APG - assuming constant prices for the coal), then it still has c.5.85 years of revenue contributions left.
That really is amazing - almost 6 years still of huge royalties to come from Kestrel, at 40% higher than has been the historic level, giving the company a HUGE war chest to replace Kestrel with, and to pay progressive dividends, AND they are already diversifying away from Kestrel to create new revenue streams.
If you look through that presentation you'll see what I mean, and if you pay particular attention to slide 16 comparing APG vs it's American peers - then you can see there is SIGNIFICANT room for capital appreciation for shareholders via share price increase.
I'm kind of gobsmacked really, I didn't realise Kestrel had so much more to give and with that in mind I think the current share price of c.220-225 is way too low, and will eventually probably hit £4+ - and if they can invest wisely - and the CEO and board seem to be doing a sterling job - then in 10+ years time this could be a real bargain nvestment.
Just thought I'd share my back of a fag packet maths and thoughts - please pick me apart if I'm wrong.
