Q: Can you please provide an update on TXG. It seems to be lagging other gold companies. Thanks,
5i Research Answer:
At 5X earnings, TXG is very cheap indeed. While it is down 7% in 2023, it is still up 55% over 52 weeks, so may just be consolidating prior gains. Revenue is ramping nicely; EPS is being impacted by inflation and other factors and is expected to decline in 2024. The last quarter was ahead of estimates, but estimates have been ticking down. It has $320M net cash so is in excellent financial shape. Cash flow generation is good. We think it is certainly attractive on valuation, and its cash helps provide some comfort. We would see it as buyable.
