Simply Wall St · 3d ago

Kingsgate Consolidated (ASX:KCN) has secured access to a US$25 million loan facility from Nebari Natural Resources Credit Fund II after meeting all conditions, alongside refinancing that reshapes its debt profile and financial flexibility.

See our latest analysis for Kingsgate Consolidated.

The refinancing news comes after a strong run in the shares, with a 30-day share price return of 31.32% and a 90-day share price return of 46.02%. This has contributed to a very large 1-year total shareholder return, while the current A$5.87 share price reflects momentum that has built rather than faded over recent months.

With the shares already up sharply over 1 year and trading at A$5.87, the key question now is simple: is Kingsgate still trading below what the market thinks it is worth, or is future growth already priced in?

Price to Earnings of 52.8x: Is it justified?

On a P/E of 52.8x at a A$5.87 share price, Kingsgate looks expensive compared to its own estimated fair P/E level and sector peers.

The P/E ratio compares the current share price to earnings per share, so a higher multiple usually means the market is placing a richer price on each dollar of profit.

For Kingsgate, the current P/E of 52.8x sits well above the Metals and Mining industry average P/E of 24x and the peer average of 36.9x, which suggests the market is paying a substantial premium. It is also higher than the estimated Fair P/E of 32.2x, a level the market could potentially move towards if expectations and sentiment cool from current settings.

This premium is reinforced by the Simply Wall St DCF work, which indicates the shares are trading at A$5.87 compared to an estimated fair value of A$32.13, implying a very large discount on a cash flow basis even as the earnings multiple looks stretched.

Result: Price-to-Earnings of 52.8x (OVERVALUED)

However, the premium P/E and reliance on the Chatree Gold Mine mean that any shift in earnings expectations or asset performance could quickly challenge the recent share price strength.
