metals and mining companies are typically trading at a PE of 10.98x, lower than the rest of the Canadian stock market PE of 16.32x. This illustrates a somewhat under-priced sector compared to the rest of the market. Though, the industry returned a similar 7.36% on equities compared to the market’s 9.21%. Since Shoshoni Gold’s earnings doesn’t seem to reflect its true value, its PE ratio isn’t very useful. A loose alternative to gauge Shoshoni Gold’s value is to assume the stock should be relatively in-line with its industry.
