Almonty Industries (TSX:AII) is back on investors’ radar after two linked developments at its Sangdong Mine: the start of processing operations and a significantly extended tungsten offtake agreement with Global Tungsten & Powders.
See our latest analysis for Almonty Industries.
Despite a recent pullback, including a 10.34% decline in the 30 day share price return and a 23.06% fall over 90 days, Almonty Industries still shows strong momentum with an 84.46% year to date share price return and a very large 1 year total shareholder return. This suggests investors are reassessing both growth potential and risk as Sangdong moves into production and the extended offtake agreement takes effect.

Almonty Industries now has a long-life tungsten contract and a newly producing mine, yet the stock has already delivered a very large 1 year return. Does the current share price still leave room for attractive value?
On Simply Wall St’s numbers, Almonty Industries is trading at a steep discount to an estimated future cash flow value. The SWS DCF model points to a fair value of about CA$60.09 per share, versus the last close of CA$22.19, which implies Almonty is trading roughly 63.1% below that estimate.
The SWS DCF model projects the company’s future cash flows and then discounts them back to today using a required rate of return to estimate what those cash flows are worth in present terms. For a company like Almonty Industries, which is currently loss making but has forecasts of higher future earnings and revenue, a DCF can capture expectations that are not visible in current profits.
Given Almonty’s unprofitable status, high forecast revenue growth and the transition of Sangdong into production, the gap between the current CA$22.19 share price and the CA$60.09 model value highlights how much of the story rests on future execution. The stock is also trading about 24.3% below an analyst price target of CA$27.59. However, analyst views are not in a statistically tight range, so those targets come with more dispersion than usual.
Look into how the SWS DCF model arrives at its fair value.
Result: DCF Fair value of CA$60.09 (UNDERVALUED)
However, Almonty Industries still carries clear risks, including its current net loss of CA$132.555 million and heavy reliance on tungsten revenue from a small set of projects.

While the SWS DCF model suggests Almonty Industries is trading well below an estimated future cash flow value, the P/B ratio paints a more demanding picture. A P/B of 17.9x is far higher than the Canadian Metals and Mining industry average of 2.6x, even though it is below peer levels of 146.2x. That gap points to meaningful valuation risk if expectations around Sangdong or future earnings do not play out as implied.
