Analysis

Quality compounder

Sandfire Resources Limited is a quality compounder: a well-run business trading at a price that reflects what it is worth.

The price is expensive. You pay 29.3× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically expensive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 11% yearly growth; analysts expect 66%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 18/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.

What to watch: Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
