Should Investors Speculate on these Resources Stocks Including (Gold and Nickel) - GOR, POS?

 

Gold Road Resources Limited

GOR Details

Insights of Q1FY22: Gold Road Resources Limited (ASX: GOR) is engaged in mine operations through a joint venture, sale of gold and mineral exploration. During the March 2022 quarter, the company recorded rising production and sales. It experienced no material impact on operations from COVID-19 during the quarter. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, GOR announced a takeover offer for DGO Gold of 2.16 Gold Road shares for one DGO share, which implies an offer price of $3.55 per share, and an equity value of approximately A$308 million. The offer opened on 8 April 2022, and DGO Directors unanimously recommended shareholders to accept the offer in the absence of a superior offer.

Financial Summary (Source: Analysis by Kalkine Group)

Key Risks: GOR’s performance could be affected by the adverse movement in the prices of gold as it generates a major portion of revenue from the sale of gold. In addition, it is exposed to risks arising from the extreme change in the climate.

Outlook: For FY22, the company expects gold production in the range of 300,000 – 340,000 ounces at an attributable AISC of between A$1,270 – A$1,470 per ounce.

Valuation Methodology: P/E Multiple Based Relative Valuation (Illustrative)

Source: Analysis by Kalkine Group

*% Premium/(Discount) is based on our assessment of the company’s NTM trading multiple after considering its key growth drivers, economic moat, stock's historical trading multiples versus peer average/median, and investment risks.

Stock Recommendation: The stock of GOR has a 52-week low-high range of $1.135- $1.830, respectively. The stock has been corrected by ~5.24% in the past one month. The stock has been valued using a P/E multiple-based illustrative relative valuation method and arrived at a target price of low double-digit (in percentage terms). The company might trade at a slight discount to its peers’ average P/E multiple, considering the COVID-19 Uncertainties and rising cost pressure, etc. For the purpose of valuation, a few peers like Regis Resources Ltd (ASX: RRL), Dacian Gold Ltd (ASX: DCN), OceanaGold Corp (ASX: OGC), and others have been considered. Considering the expected upside in valuation, rising production, growing cash position, decent outlook, current trading levels, and key risks associated with the business, we recommend a ‘Speculative Buy’ rating on the stock at the closing price of $1.545, down by ~0.961% as on 27 April 2022.

Markets are trading in a highly volatile zone currently due to certain macro-economic issues and geopolitical tensions prevailing. Therefore, it is prudent to follow a cautious approach while investing.
