NZSE:NTL PE PEG Gauge Feb 16th 18
More Metals and mining companies are typically trading at a PE of 15.13x, relatively similar to the rest of the NZ stock market PE of 13.36x. This means the industry, on average, is fairly valued compared to the wider market – minimal expected gains and losses from mispricing here. However, the industry returned a lower 8.94% compared to the market’s 11.76%, potentially indicative of past headwinds. Since New Talisman Gold Mines’s earnings doesn’t seem to reflect its true value, its PE ratio isn’t very useful. A loose alternative to gauge New Talisman Gold Mines’s value is to assume the stock should be relatively in-line with its industry.
Next Steps: New Talisman Gold Mines recently delivered an industry-beating growth rate in earnings, which is a positive for shareholders. If the stock has been on your watchlist for a while, now may be the time to buy, if you like its ability to deliver growth and are not highly concentrated in the materials industry. However, before you make a decision on the stock, I suggest you look at New Talisman Gold Mines’s fundamentals in order to build a holistic investment thesis.
