Summary
Our base-case estimate uses FCF at Commodity Price Scenarios. We then blend that result with the average analyst price target of $165.33 from 22 analysts, using a 25% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $41.33 per share.
Warnings
Demand trends (construction, electric vehicles, food production) matter more than supply headlines. Focus on who's buying the commodity and why.
Mines and reserves eventually run out. Standard models undercount this risk — the company must keep finding or buying new resources just to maintain its value.
Wall Street's average price target is $165.33 (from 22 analysts). Our estimate is 100% below the consensus -- consider that gap carefully.
Key Risks
- AISC vs. cash cost distinction: always use AISC for breakeven analysis
- Single-asset companies carry significantly higher risk — widen scenario range
- Mine permitting takes 10-20 years — growth optionality often priced in optimistically
