We’ve revised our gold price assumptions and taken account of recent
company disclosures to revise our forecasts, valuations, price targets,
investment arguments and ratings for the gold shares we cover. We’ve also
revised our cost inflation assumption for 2010 – 12 to 10.3% (12.4%) in
line with Eskom’s three-year average electricity tariff increase of 25.5%pa.
Our tempered near-term gold price forecast, offset by slightly lower SA cost
inflation assumptions, has lowered our earnings forecasts and DCF
valuations. Consequently we've revised lower our price targets and
highlight as a particular near-term risk the stronger rand/dollar
exchange rate. Our SA stock picks remain AngloGold Ashanti (OW), 6m
DCF-based PT R352/sh (R385/sh) and Gold Fields (OW), DCF-based
6m PT R116/sh (R121/sh). We downgrade DRD to N (OW), DCF-based
6m PT R4.20/sh (R5.30/sh) on the basis of our revised valuation following
the failed sale of 60% of the marginal Blyvoor underground mine.
• We remain mildly positive on gold even though the anticipated weakness in
USD in 1H 2010 has failed to materialise. Put simply, we didn’t see the
sharp rise in European sovereign risk that has weighed on EUR. Gold is on
track to test modestly higher in 2010 and 2011 (c$1,175/oz on average),
but core tailwinds (weak USD, concerns over developed world inflation)
have now become headwinds.
• The rand gold price is up 4% YTD at R269,000/kg but is flat QOQ to end-
March with the gold price (c$1,100/oz) and rand/dollar (cR7.50/$) averages
similar. The SA gold sector has lost 4% YTD and continues to trade at a
discount (c10%) to our revised DCF valuations on a spot basis. We see
gold at +$1,200/oz and the rand at +R7.80/$ in 2H 2010 (+12% to
cR300,000/kg). Based on our revised valuations we expect our sector picks,
ANG & GFI, to outperform the metal (+20% vs. +12%). We’re mindful that
the next 6m will be difficult for the SA gold miners in the face of a stronger
rand, higher costs and uncertainty with respect to evolving SA mining law.
So we're less confident that SA gold shares will outperform the metal easily.
• Key risks to our view include changes in the gold price, the R/$ exchange
rate and production, costs and capex outcomes different to our forecasts. SAspecific
risks include safety and power-related production losses, relatively
high wage and power tariff inflation as well as the potential adverse
economic impact of changing SA mining legislation.
