Most Popular Narrative: 1% Undervalued
Teck Resources last closed at CA$84.18 versus a widely followed narrative fair value of CA$85.00, so the current copper driven rerating sits very close to that anchor.
The sanctioned Highland Valley Copper Mine Life Extension project and ongoing optimization/debottlenecking at QB are set to double Teck's copper production by decade's end, enabling the company to capitalize on the accelerating demand for copper from global electrification and energy transition, which should materially increase revenue and long-term earnings growth.
Want to understand why this narrative still sees upside with earnings expected to decline near term? The answer lies in how copper volumes, margins and future valuation multiples are stitched together into one long term story.
Result: Fair Value of CA$85 (ABOUT RIGHT)
