pretty useless report using prvit rating. they last time they issued one for panr was in 2019 -sell rating at 0.24 gbp. the equation used in prvit = intrinsic value/actual market value. the report is looking at the last five years with negative or nil sales growth ( hold on what do you expect from an exploration company ). the report takes no account of the future value that the company is expected to unlock given the excellent resource found and further testing in place to prove it further. this report would be good for companies in production. if you apply the same to ggp you will get a sell rating.
on a seperate note to understand how eva puts rating is as follows
"prvit implies, we calculate separate scores on performance, risk and market valuation for each of 8,000 global companies, and ranks them relative to the scores for all other companies. we then combine those three scores into one overall prvit score for each company, and rank companies by percentiles within their industries. conceptually, one can think of the final prvit score as a ranking based on the ratio of intrinsic value (calculated from performance and risk) relative to current market value. companies ranked in the top 20% in their industries (from 80 to 100) get buy ratings, and those in the bottom 20% (from 20 to 1) are sells. the three middle *****iles, from the 80th percentile down to the 20th, are classified overweight, hold and underweight"

further ai findings on the model used in the report.
the prvit equation, often used for valuation, has drawbacks including relying on estimates, which can be inaccurate, and potentially overlooking other relevant factors.
here's a more detailed explanation of the drawbacks:
1. reliance on estimates:
future cash flows:
the prvit equation, like many valuation methods, relies heavily on estimating future cash flows, which are inherently uncertain.
discount rate:
the discount rate used to calculate the present value of future cash flows also requires estimation, and an inaccurate discount rate can significantly impact the valuation.
uncertainty:
these estimates can be influenced by various factors, such as economic conditions, market trends, and unforeseen events, making the valuation susceptible to errors.
2. potential for overlooking relevant factors:
qualitative factors:
the prvit equation primarily focuses on quantifiable financial data, potentially overlooking important qualitative factors that can influence a company's value, such as management quality, competitive landscape, and regulatory environment.
industry specifics:
the equation may not adequately capture industry-specific dynamics or unique characteristics of a company, potentially leading to inaccurate valuations.
market sentiment:
the prvit equation may not fully reflect market sentiment or investor expectations, which can significantly impact stock prices.
