A report provides ROTH Capital Partners' new
estimates for gold, silver and other metals throughout 2018 and net effect on
the financial projections of this miner.
In an Aug. 26 research note, analyst Joe Reagor indicated that ROTH
Capital Partners revised its near-term estimates for Pretium
Resources Inc. (PVG:TSX; PVG:NYSE) to reflect its recently reduced
commodity price estimates. The changes, however, did not affect discounted
cash flow enough to warrant a revised target price, so ROTH maintains its $19
per share target and its Buy rating on Pretium. The stock is currently
trading at around $11.40 per share.
ROTH revised its near- and medium-term cost forecasts on various
commodities because their prices have dropped recently and are expected to
remain under pressure as long as the U.S. dollar remains strong.
For Q3/18, the firm changed its forecasts on these commodities:
Gold: To $1,210 per ounce ($1,210/oz) from $1,350/oz
Silver: To $15.25/oz from $17.31/oz
Lead: To $1 per pound ($1/lb) from $1.10/lb
Zinc: To $1.10/lb from $1.40/lb
Copper: To $2.75/lb from $3/lb
For Q4/18, ROTH made these changes:
Gold: To $1,225/oz from $1,300/oz
Silver: To $15.90/oz from $17.33/oz
Lead: To $1/lb from $1.10/lb
Zinc: To $1.10/lb from $1.30/lb
Copper: To $2.75/lb from $3/lb
For full-year 2019, it revised these price estimates:
Gold: To $1,288/oz from $1,500/oz
Silver: To $17.17/oz from $20/oz
Zinc: To $1.10/lb from $1.20/lb
Despite ROTH's lowered near-term projections for Pretium as a result of
the decreased commodity price estimates, Reagor said the company will likely
still generate enough cash to repurchase its gold stream by the end of 2018.
In the meantime, however, ROTH is omitting it from its conservative model on
the miner. "Instead, view the stream repurchase as upside to our
valuation," he added.
