Basic Materials Stocks: Is Now The Time To Buy Bassari Resources Limited (ASX:BSR)?

The metals and mining sector’s PE is currently hovering around 12.81x, relatively similar to the rest of the Australian stock market PE of 17.3x. This illustrates a fairly valued sector relative to the rest of the market, indicating low mispricing opportunities. Furthermore, the industry returned a similar 11.70% on equities compared to the market’s 11.37%. Since Bassari Resources’s earnings doesn’t seem to reflect its true value, its PE ratio isn’t very useful. A loose alternative to gauge Bassari Resources’s value is to assume the stock should be relatively in-line with its industry.
