Analysis

Weak and unloved

Northern Star Resources Limited scores below average on quality and is priced accordingly, a low-conviction position in either direction.

On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 56.2×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 20% a year, against analyst forecasts of 31%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is tepid; the safety picture is stretched. The company scores 16/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.

No flags apply to this company at this time: accounts, balance sheet, and cash quality all pass. A clean bill of health is meaningful, not just the absence of a warning. This analysis describes numbers; it is not investment advice.
