Trading at more than half it's replacement costAt $33 ,IFP is trading at $384,600 / MBF
We all know that the cost of building a new mill is in between $800,000 and $1,100,000
So what are worth IFP highly profitable and well located mills?
$500m, $600m,$700m...
OK these mills are not brand new but many of them have had multi year capex expenditures.
$500,000 would give us $42.90
$600,000 would give us $51.50
$700,000 would give us $60.05
So Ramond James 12 month target of $60 tell us that he values the mill at $700,000
Investors that can do the math will realize how cheap Interfor is trading at.
As per my calculations, IFP will close Q2 with more than 300 million $ in cash and with a book value north of $37
I will bet you that before the Q2 announcement, there will be an announcement for the
deployment of that cash.
My bet is that we will see a SIB of at least 4 to 6 million shares.
