Simply Wall St

Aeris Resources (ASX:AIS) has just announced the immediate resignation of long serving Non Executive Director Robert Millner AO for personal reasons, prompting fresh questions about board composition and future strategic direction.

See our latest analysis for Aeris Resources.

The timing of Millner’s departure comes as investors have already been re-rating Aeris, with the share price at A$0.54 and a 30 day share price return of 21.35 percent. This has fed into a powerful year to date share price gain of 208.57 percent, alongside a 12 month total shareholder return of 208.57 percent that suggests sentiment has swung sharply back in the company’s favour.

If this governance shake up has you reassessing your watchlist, it could also be worth exploring fast growing stocks with high insider ownership as a way to uncover other potentially fast moving ideas.

With the share price having more than tripled this year and analysts still seeing modest upside, the key question now is whether Aeris remains undervalued on fundamentals or if the market is already pricing in its future growth.

The development of the Murrawombie Pit is expected to generate significant cash flow over the next 12 to 18 months, due to higher grade ore and increased production levels. This will positively impact revenue and operating cash flows as the pit reaches full operational capacity.
