Is Buenaventura (NYSE:BVN) Overvalued After Its Recent Share Price Surge? A Fresh Look at Valuation

Simply Wall St · 3d ago

Compañía de Minas BuenaventuraA (NYSE:BVN) has quietly turned into a strong performer, with the stock up about 40% over the past 3 months and more than doubling over the past year.

See our latest analysis for Compañía de Minas BuenaventuraA.

That surge in the share price, now at $28.11, comes on top of a powerful trend, with a roughly 22% 1 month share price return and a striking 3 year total shareholder return above 280%. This suggests momentum is still building as investors reassess its growth and risk profile.

If Buenaventura’s run up has you thinking about what else could surprise to the upside, this might be the moment to scout fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

Yet despite its powerful rally, Buenaventura still trades at a notable discount to some intrinsic value estimates. This raises the question: is this a fresh entry point, or are markets already pricing in the next leg of growth?

Most Popular Narrative: 14.4% Overvalued

Compared with the last close at $28.11, the most followed narrative pegs Compañía de Minas BuenaventuraA’s fair value materially lower, implying the recent surge runs ahead of fundamentals.

The analysts have a consensus price target of $17.817 for Compañía de Minas BuenaventuraA based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of $20.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just $14.4.

Read the complete narrative.

Want to see why this narrative calls for a lower valuation even as metals stay strong? The crux lies in modest growth, compressed margins and a surprisingly restrained earnings multiple. Curious how those moving parts add up to the current fair value call? Read on to unpack the full playbook behind that number.

Result: Fair Value of $24.57 (OVERVALUED)

However, several fault lines remain, from higher all in sustaining costs to potential delays at San Gabriel, any of which could quickly challenge today’s optimism.

Another Lens on Valuation

By contrast, the earnings based lens paints BVN as attractively priced. Its P/E of 16.4 times sits well below both peers at 26.2 times and a 20.8 times fair ratio. This hints the market still assigns a discount. Is that caution justified, or an opportunity in plain sight?
