Below i've summarised some rough calculations with some major assumptions based on the previous forecasts. What essentially these rough calculations suggest is that looking at the current price $1.875 and at the current monthly forecasted return on A2 powder sales we are sitting at a PE under 30 (disregarding revenue FYTD which have a lower revenue rate in the first half) which is extremely reasonable given the potential growth if anything undervalued. Now considering that sales of this product have increased say roughly 36% in one month, i would be of the opinion that there is enormous potential to increase sales if they have the resources to increase output. If the chinese are willing to pay 3x the market price for these products grey and their supply is not meeting demand i think a 30% increase in revenue per annum is highly reasonable given they have the capability to increase production.
Now you can also see that with incremental increases in powder revenue of 10% the PE ratio falls quite rapidly. If you factor in a 10% increase in sales the PE ratio at current prices (assuming no dilution and disregarding YTD sales) is 23 which in my opinion is highly undervalued given the potential for growth. In my price forecasts i have assumed a PE ratio of 30 given i believe this is fair value and conservative to say the least while the market has low saturation.
I've already loaded up my position and ill be holding as i believe in the growth prospects in this sector. While dips in the price are bound to occur, in my opinion it would be of less risk to hold (unless you are a gun trader of course, obviously i would like to increase my position too) if you believe there is potential for double digit growth especially with the one child policy now abandoned. Good luck guys here are some numbers to help you make an informed decision on your investment. It would be unfortunate for your stock to change hands with maybe some of the more critical posters on this forum. It appears some major funds have loaded up and i think those guys are seeing some similar figures to mine. Their numbers might be a bit more optimistic though . BAL and BKL also reflect the direction of this sector at the moment. All the best!
P.S. I had graphs but they dont copy paste directly into this text box.
Note: these numbers are an opinionated guess of the possible inner workings of A2Ms forecast.
