Goldquest Mining Corp (TSXV:GQC), a metals and mining company based in Canada, saw a significant share price rise of over 20% in the past couple of months on the TSXV. As a small cap stock, hardly covered by any analysts, there is generally more of an opportunity for mispricing as there is less activity to push the stock closer to fair value. Is there still an opportunity here to buy? Let’s take a look at Goldquest Mining’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists. Check out our latest analysis for Goldquest Mining
What is Goldquest Mining worth?
Goldquest Mining appears to be overvalued according to my relative valuation model. I’ve used the price-to-book ratio in this instance because there’s not enough visibility to forecast its cash flows, and its earnings doesn’t seem to reflect its true value. The stock’s ratio of 3.6x is currently well-above the industry average of 1.1x, meaning that it is trading at a more expensive price relative to its peers. But, is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Given that Goldquest Mining’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.What kind of growth will Goldquest Mining generate?
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? Goldquest Mining’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading above its fair value. At this current price, shareholders may be asking a different question – should I sell? If you believe Goldquest Mining should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on Goldquest Mining for some time, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its industry peers, which means it is likely that there is no more upside from mispricing. However, the optimistic prospect is encouraging for Goldquest Mining, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
