At the bottom of this post is my brief valuation of MOY - which came to $0.211.
Thus, if you believe MOY can deliver on their guidance going forward (certainly no guarantee considering recent performance), then MOY is a great buying opportunity.
Those with less appetite for risk might choose to wait for next production update or quarterly report for evidence of improved performance.
There is significant upside to the valuation:
- I use a conservative POG number ($1,900 AUD/oz), current POG is $2,100 and likely to be higher in coming years
- MOY's hedge book is minimal, providing high exposure to rising POG (or falling!)
- LOM extension is likely
Risks to the valuation:- The key risk is MOY continuing to fail in delivering on their guidance
- Gold price may fall (contrary to expectations)
- AISC may be higher
- Other risks typically associated with mining stocks
Disclosure: I don't own MOY but looking to gain exposure in the coming weeks.
