Most Popular Narrative: 11% Overvalued
The most widely followed narrative places Compañía de Minas BuenaventuraA’s fair value at $20.48, which is below the current share price of $22.77. With price momentum running high, many are closely watching the underlying drivers that could shape the next move. Here’s a critical catalyst according to the prevailing narrative:
The imminent start-up and ramp-up of the San Gabriel project, with first gold production targeted for Q4 2025 and stabilization by mid-2026, is set to meaningfully boost gold output and diversify the company's revenue streams at a time when ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty may increase gold's appeal as a safe-haven asset, supporting both revenue and margins.
Want to know what’s fueling this valuation call? One bold assumption ties future upside to a new flagship asset and the expected transformation of revenues and profit margins. Curious about which projections and profit multiples drive this narrative? Get the inside scoop to find out what makes analysts confident that this price can stick.
However, ongoing operational disruptions or weaker gold and silver output could quickly diminish BuenaventuraA's recent valuation gains and alter analyst projections.
While analyst price targets point to some overvaluation, comparing share price against earnings tells a different story. Compañía de Minas BuenaventuraA trades on a ratio of 13.3x, much lower than both peers (23.9x) and the broader US Metals and Mining industry (24.1x). Notably, this still sits well below the fair ratio of 23.6x, suggesting there may be more value left on the table. Which method will prove right as conditions shift?
