What the Numbers Say It Is Worth
The Fair Value Range
Our model only; only one analyst covers it, too few to cross-check it.
Our analysis reads Fair vs our fair value, as of 4 Nov 2026: it trades at roughly a 3% discount to our $8.82 fair value, weak competitive moat, 86.70% revenue growth.
Fair value range in USD, drawn from the 2026-11-04 screen. The gold marker is the market price at the same screen. A 2.7% discount to the base estimate.
Reading the gap · Our more conservative model reads it as roughly fairly valued here, while the Street is more bullish: a quality-at-a-fair-price name rather than a deep-value one.
Where our models see it going: fair-value estimate $8.82, with a range of $8.82 to $10.14, dated to the 2026-11-04 screen.
Fair value and rating are our own model estimates; the Street's range reflects third-party analyst estimates. Analysis, not advice.
The Business, in Plain Words
Rare earths boom meets China sized swings
Rare earths sit at the heart of EVs, wind turbines and defence kit, yet supply still hinges on one dominant player and prices lurch with policy shifts. Lynas shows 63 percent revenue growth and clears the ethical screen, yet trades right at our fair value estimate with a 27.5 times forward multiple, 12 percent margins and just 3 percent return on equity.
A weak moat leaves it exposed to new entrants and substitution, while the industry cycle means today's growth can vanish when demand cools or Chinese output rises. Low returns on equity already hint that strong top line gains are not translating into durable profits.
In cyclical miners a mid-cycle multiple rarely signals a bargain; it often flags peak earnings that will compress when the cycle turns. Analysis, not advice.
Another profit measure, before interest, tax and non-cash costs: EBITDA.
The risks · The things to watch: its business and earnings are exposed to Australia and to currency swings.
