Most Popular Narrative: 44.6% Undervalued

Against the last close of CA$86.39, the most followed narrative suggests a fair value of about CA$156 per share, implying a sizeable valuation gap that hinges on ambitious assumptions about profits and cash generation.

If gold reaches $4,000 per ounce, Endeavour Mining could potentially see its stock price rise to approximately $156 per share, given the assumptions about costs and production levels.

Read the complete narrative.

There is a full set of operational and pricing assumptions sitting behind that CA$156 figure. It leans heavily on higher margins, robust free cash flow and a richer valuation multiple than the market is using today. Curious what those moving pieces look like together and how sensitive the conclusion is to small tweaks in the model.

Result: Fair Value of CA$156 (UNDERVALUED)

Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what’s behind the forecasts.

However, this hinges on gold actually reaching $4,000 and on production and cost assumptions holding up, which could easily be challenged by market or operational shocks.
