The Business, in Plain Words
Peru gold miner flashes margins yet cycle warns
When gold prices spike, miners in Peru can post eye watering margins overnight. Buenaventura shows revenue up 103 percent, a 48 percent profit margin and 26 percent ROE, yet the opportunity rating stays at none and the forward multiple of 8.6 times offers no real edge once the cycle fades.
The current price of 30.24 dollars sits 11 percent below our fair value with analysts holding a 37 dollar median target. Strong numbers on paper mask the fact this is a cyclical business where peak earnings often meet a low multiple and produce exactly the value trap investors later regret.
The ethical screen clears yet the unknown moat and Peru specific risks remain. Currency swings and metal price reversals can erase the apparent bargain faster than the numbers suggest.
Another profit measure, before interest, tax and non-cash costs: EBITDA.
The risks · The things to watch: its business and earnings are exposed to Peru and to currency swings.
