Metals and mining companies are typically trading at a PE of 16x, in-line with the Australian stock market PE of 18x.

Furthermore, the industry returned a similar 10.35% on equities compared to the market’s 11.86%. On the stock-level, Southern Gold is trading at a lower PE ratio of 5x, making it cheaper than the average metals and mining stock.

Are you a shareholder? Metals and mining stocks are currently expected to grow faster than the average stock on the index. This means if you’re overweight in this sector, your portfolio will be tilted towards high-growth. The industry is trading relatively in-line with the market, which means you may be paying a fair value for the materials stocks should you wish to accumulate more of your holdings.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on the metals and mining sector, now is the right time to dive deeper into the stock-level. The high growth prospect makes stocks such as Southern Gold a more appealing investment case, though the industry is trading relatively in-line with the rest of the wider marker. I suggest you examine the stock’s fundamentals, such as its financial health, before you make an investment decision.
