Pre-IPO Zijin Gold (PHIP Updates) – Thoughts on the Business, the Forecast and Valuation Outlook
- The spin-off of Zijin for an independent listing is equivalent to presenting a “pure gold business” to the market. Such “asset revaluation” can unlock the hidden value of gold business.
- For enterprises like Zijin in the upstream of gold industry chain, a sustained high and rising gold price is usually a significant positive factor. However, there are also potential risks.
- Zijin Gold has better growth potential than peers, so we think its valuation range could be P/E of 18-22x. If based on 2025 net profit forecast, valuation is US$36.9-45.1 billion.
Butong Group Pre-IPO: Strong Growth But Mainly Driven By Diapers And Wipes
