New Gold Inc., a Canadian precious metals mining company, has undergone significant transformation during this period. When InvestingPro’s models flagged the stock, the company was generating annual revenue of $777 million with an EBITDA of $295.8 million. The analysis suggested a 29.89% upside potential, but the actual performance far exceeded these estimates.
The company’s fundamental improvements have validated InvestingPro’s initial assessment. Current financials show revenue reaching $924.5 million and EBITDA climbing to $428.5 million. The company has successfully turned around its earnings, moving from a loss of $0.11 per share to positive earnings of $0.136 per share. A strategic increase in ownership of the New Afton mine to 80.1% has strengthened the company’s asset base and future prospects.
Recent developments have further supported the stock’s appreciation. Credit rating agencies have taken notice, with S&P Global upgrading New Gold to B+ and Moody’s revising its outlook to positive. Multiple analysts have raised their price targets, with BMO Capital Markets and Scotiabank (TSX:BNS) maintaining outperform ratings and setting targets above current trading levels.
InvestingPro’s Fair Value methodology combines multiple valuation approaches, including discounted cash flow analysis, comparable company metrics, and analyst consensus targets. This comprehensive approach helped identify New Gold’s potential when the market was undervaluing its improving fundamentals and strategic initiatives.
