    Based on the 3rd Auction results this is my revised forecast for 2021/22:
    The offtake agreement revenue should increase each quarter assuming I am correct in thinking only the Yibin agreement is fixed priced until March 2022 and the other two will start to increase.

    Based on that Revenue estimate 2021/22 should generate the following all in AUD:
    Production dmt 465,000
    Revenue $814
    EBITDAX $530M
    NPAT $395M
    Net surplus cash $345M (before JV spend)
    PE Ratio 16.4

    If the General Lithium and Ganfeng offtake agreements increase more in line with current pricing then the above numbers will look even better.

    A PE ratio of 16 for a company in strong growth mode is way too low.
    The market is clearly factoring in substantial falls in the Lithium price but with not much new supply coming online for at least the next two years I think prices will hold for at least two years and maybe longer.
