There’s been no major changes to the price target of CA$13.50, suggesting that the impact of higher forecast revenue and lower earnings won’t result in a meaningful change to the business’ valuation. There’s another way to think about price targets though, and that’s to look at the range of price targets put forward by analysts, because a wide range of estimates could suggest a diverse view on possible outcomes for the business. There are some variant perceptions on Discovery Silver, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at CA$15.00 and the most bearish at CA$11.50 per share. Even so, with a relatively close grouping of estimates, it looks like the analysts are quite confident in their valuations, suggesting Discovery Silver is an easy business to forecast or the the analysts are all using similar assumptions.
One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. It’s pretty clear that there is an expectation that Discovery Silver’s revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2026 expected to display 69% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 100% over the past five years. Juxtapose this against the other companies in the industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenues (in aggregate) 17% per year. So it’s pretty clear that, while Discovery Silver’s revenue growth is expected to slow, it’s still expected to grow faster than the industry itself.
The Bottom Line
The most important thing to take away is that the analysts downgraded their earnings per share estimates, showing that there has been a clear decline in sentiment following these results. Pleasantly, they also upgraded their revenue estimates, and their forecasts suggest the business is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates.
