ASX:SDL PE PEG Gauge Jan 4th 18
More Metals and mining companies are typically trading at a PE of 15x, in-line with the Australian stock market PE of 18x. This illustrates a fairly valued sector relative to the rest of the market, indicating low mispricing opportunities. Furthermore, the industry returned a similar 10.35% on equities compared to the market’s 11.87%. Since Sundance Resources’s earnings doesn’t seem to reflect its true value, its PE ratio isn’t very useful. A loose alternative to gauge Sundance Resources’s value is to assume the stock should be relatively in-line with its industry.
