Key financials Revenue fell 12% YoY while EPS surged 195%, reflecting cost discipline and margin recovery. Gross margin sits at 35% with operating and net margins of 13% and 5%. ROE is 13%, ROCE 18%, and ROA 5%, supported by a conservative debt/equity of 0.24 and net debt/EBITDA of 0.88.
Stock health Momentum is mixed: down 12% over six months but up 19% over twelve months, with a 23% drawdown from the 52-week high and RSI at 49. The Piotroski F-Score of 5/9 and Altman Z of 3.0 suggest moderate financial health but elevated distress risk.
Price vs fair value The stock trades at a PREMIUM of 16.70% to our fair-value estimate of 394 and at a discount of 24.42% to the analyst 12-month target of 589. - Net margin recovery to 4.5% supports valuation but remains below historical peaks (Valuation 48.1 percentile). - Growth score of 65% ranks above peers, yet momentum is weak (Momentum 41.1 percentile). - Forward P/E of 18x and PEG of 4.5x suggest limited upside unless earnings reaccelerate. - Dividend yield of 0.8% and payout ratio of 16% signal capital return commitment but limited income appeal.
Looking forward Analysts expect a 24% upside to 589, contingent on sustained margin normalization and demand recovery in mining capex. Execution risk remains tied to project execution and commodity price volatility.
