The metals and mining sector’s PE is currently hovering around 12x, lower than the rest of the Canadian stock market PE of 17x. This means the industry, on average, is relatively undervalued compared to the wider market – a potential mispricing opportunity here! Though, the industry did returned a lower 6.99% compared to the market’s 9.10%, which may explain the lower relative valuation. Since GCX’s earnings doesn’t seem to reflect its true value, its PE ratio isn’t very useful. A loose alternative to gauge GCX’s value is to assume the stock should be relatively in-line with its industry. What this means for you:Are you a shareholder? GCX has been a metals and mining industry laggard in the past year. If your initial investment thesis is around the growth prospects of GCX, there are other metals and mining companies that have delivered higher growth, and perhaps trading at a discount to the industry average. Consider how GCX fits into your wider portfolio and the opportunity cost of holding onto the stock. Are you a potential investor? If GCX has been on your watchlist for a while, now may be a good time to dig deeper into the stock. Although its growth has delivered lower growth relative to its metals and mining peers in the near term, the market may be pessimistic on the stock, leading to a potential undervaluation. Before you make a decision on the stock, I suggest you look at GCX’s future cash flows in order to assess whether the stock is trading at a reasonable price.
