Is PPTA undervalued? Our fair value estimate
Perpetua Resources Corp. · Basic Materials · NCM
How we got here
The estimate is computed from PPTA's reported fundamentals, with a growth assumption that is deliberately capped: small changes to an uncapped growth or terminal assumption can justify any price, and a number that can justify anything means nothing. These are the inputs the model holds for PPTA today; the exact method, and where it goes wrong, is on the methodology page.
Wall Street's published earnings growth forecast, used as context for the capped growth assumption, never swallowed whole.
Persistent high returns on capital are what a moat looks like in the accounts, and they feed the moat score alongside the valuation.
A volatility measure against the wider market. A jumpier share earns a larger discount for risk, which lowers the estimate.
Wall Street's number, next to ours
The mean analyst price target for PPTA is USD38.90 across 5 analysts, which implies +54.6% from the current price. Our estimate is USD6.87. They answer different questions: an analyst target is a 12-month price prediction averaged across banks; ours is a model's view of what the business is worth, with every assumption published. When they disagree, at least one of us is wrong.
