With shares trading well below analyst targets despite substantial recent gains, the question facing investors is simple: is Seabridge Gold still undervalued, or has the market already factored in its future prospects?

Price-to-Book Ratio of 3.7x: Is it justified?

Trading at a 3.7x price-to-book ratio, Seabridge Gold is currently valued higher than both its peers and the broader Canadian Metals and Mining industry. With a recent close at CA$37.60, investors are paying a noticeable premium to book value compared to the competition.

The price-to-book multiple measures how much investors are willing to pay for each dollar of net assets. For an asset-heavy, development-stage miner like Seabridge Gold, this ratio is often a key yardstick because earnings are not yet a meaningful metric.

Seabridge Gold’s higher multiple signals market optimism for its resource pipeline. However, it is notably above the peer group average of 2.9x and the industry average of 2.6x. Such a premium implies investors are banking on future project execution or gold price appreciation. The current level leaves little margin for error if progress stalls.
