RE:RE:MWX Davis Value AnalysisThanks for your comments. I did go down the PE route and this is where I ended up:
- Started with the stock screener on TMXMoney for Basic Materials/Other Precious Metals & Mining. I stuck with the Basic Materials/Mining sector as that is how they are currently listed on the Canadian Exchange.
- Screened for smaller companies (<20 employees), <$100 MM in Total Revenue and with positive PEs
- List of companies dropped to three (NSR, TFPM and MMX) with an avg PE of 24.4
- If you assume that GP was talking 20% net profit margin, then net income (aka Net Profit or net earnings) = $55 MM x 20% = $11 MM.
- Then Share Price = 24.4 x $11 MM / 342 MM Shares = $0.78 / share
Of the three comparable companies their respective share prices as of last Friday were:
MMX ($6.01), NSR ($8.70) and TFPM ($16.75) which is (will be) pretty sweet if/when the market treats MWX with a little of the same valuation love.
