TSXV:MYA PE PEG Gauge Jan 30th 18
The metals and mining industry is trading at a PE ratio of 12.2x, lower than the rest of the Canadian stock market PE of 17.3x. This illustrates a somewhat under-priced sector compared to the rest of the market. Though, the industry returned a similar 7.39% on equities compared to the market’s 9.17%. Since Maya Gold and Silver’s earnings doesn’t seem to reflect its true value, its PE ratio isn’t very useful. A loose alternative to gauge Maya Gold and Silver’s value is to assume the stock should be relatively in-line with its industry.
