the share price in Canada and USA was equal to 650p so the MM should re-allign it here at some point today or next week...

Their EPS forward guidance will factor in their 49% attributable

[chipperfrd] 04/4/2018 16:59

Really good news and looks like another positive year for CMCL. But, in terms of revised EPS and forward P/E for 2018, one needs to factor in their 49% attributable. However, they still look cheap. Chip

Yes great news and CMCL have been in Zimbabwe for many years, which other companies have shunned, so they must be in prime position to pick up new assets. I'd like to think they saw this situation coming and have already run the slide rule over a number of opportunities. As mentioned above they have cash and an existing profitable mine, so hopefully they can fund further expansion out of cash flow.

[joan of arc] 04/4/2018 10:26

Exactly Stemis, EPS up 25% but share price only up 5%. That doesn't make sense, but CMCL is clearly unloved.

[stemis] 04/4/2018 09:56

Yes, great bit of news. Not only is another 35 - 40c (25 - 28p) EPS welcome, but it also further suggests that the business environment in Zimbabwe is changing for the better. Share price response is a bit grudging. Forward guidance of 165 - 190c (117 - 135p) puts CMCL on a P/E of 4 -5. With cash, a decent dividend and significant expansion in the pipeline, this must be one of the cheapest stocks around...

Further positive news this morning resulting in EPS upside and hopefully paving the way for an increasingly positive forward picture.

[stemis] 21/3/2018 10:09

Decent results and encouraging comments on the political situation in Zimbabwe

[stemis] 19/2/2018 14:06

hxxps://www.newsday.co.zw/2018/02/addressing-zimbabwean-business-climate/ The recent amendments to the Indigenisation and Empowerment Act and the slight adjustments on petroleum levies are massive steps to entice investors, as Zimbabwe opens up for new business. Fingers crossed...

Broker note this morning says 2018 production of 55-58.9koz is firmly in sight. Prospects looking excellent here, but shares still look cheap.

[stemis] 15/1/2018 07:55

Followed by... https://www.investegate.co.uk/caledonia-mining-crp--cmcl-/rns/record-quarterly-and-annual-gold-production/201801150700048080B/ Approximately 16,425 ounces of gold were produced during the Quarter, a new quarterly production record for the mine. Production in the Quarter was 14 per cent higher than the previous quarter (Q3 2017) which was itself a record production quarter, and 21 per cent higher than the corresponding quarter of 2016 (Q4 2016). Total 2017 gold production was approximately 56,135 ounces, marginally ahead of 2017 production guidance of 54,000 - 56,000 ounces. 2017 production represents a new annual production record for the Blanket Mine, an increase of 11.4 per cent over the annual gold production in 2016.... At 30 September 2017, Caledonia had net cash of US $11.8 million. Blanket plans to increase production from 56,135 ounces in 2017 to approximately 80,000 ounces in 2021; Blanket's target production for 2018 is between 55,000 and 59,000 ounces. All looking good

http://www.edisoninvestmentresearch.com/research/report/caledonia-mining349157/preview/ Caledonia’s Q3 results indicate record gold production with moderate unit cost decreases. The company is now firmly on target for its FY17 full-year guidance of 54-56koz of gold. We also consider the marked increase in gold grade mined compared with the previous quarter, as a major positive for the company. Following a marked increase in higher confidence category gold resources situated at depth, the central shaft development has been extended to add further long-term mining flexibility.

Hmm - ex-dividend today so was expecting a 5p drop - 12.5p is rather more!

[killary cunton] 28/11/2017 16:33

Great fundamentals but it is just sooooooooooo ill-liquid.

[livewireplus] 28/11/2017 16:31

Indeed. And the quoted spread seems to have narrowed today which should make it a little more attractive to deal....

[stemis] 28/11/2017 16:09

With cash of 85p a share and EPS likely to come in at around 90-95p a share, a share price of 505p values CMCL at around 4.5 x earnings. Then there is the upside from expansion which could easily double profits...

[tadtech] 28/11/2017 15:34

Caledonia management are in London currently, getting the message out, this can only be good for the share price. Hardly any stock on the book right now, Edison say £9.50p based on $1300oz gold price. What's not to like a exceptionally well covered dividend & low PE, yields 4.5% That Edison £9.50p target was before Mugabe retired.

[livewireplus] 28/11/2017 14:39

Going up nice and slowly. Now 500p on bid. Looking forward to a little more increase in share price along with the dividend. Stabilizing political environment in Zimbabwe + increasing gold price :-)

[meanreverter] 24/11/2017 13:08

According to today's FT, new president Mnangagwa promises “I wish to be clear, all foreign investment will be safe in Zimbabwe”.

[tadtech] 22/11/2017 13:41

This company pays a dividend and currently yields 4.5% which is covered 4 times by earnings. Edison recently covered the stock and offered a price target north of £9, that was before the Mugabe news and the recent record Q3 gold production statement. Funds based in South Africa have been building their positions, another fund from Germany has acquired just under 10%. Worth a read, target prices of £9.30p and £9.50p depending on thr gold price. http://www.edisoninvestmentresearch.com/research/report/caledonia-mining225182/full#js

While there is uncertainty around what will happen next, I lean towards being positive as you would think the new leaders will want to re-integrate with the world economy as the growth that that implies should lead to more prosperity. Knowing the country well must be a big advantage for CMCL, if the new regime is more mining friendly.

[stemis] 22/11/2017 11:25

It clearly depends on what takes over from Mugabe. However if it's a regime which seeks to attract foreign capital and restore prosperity then the precursor must be normalisation of the business environment (rather than the economy being the private bank of Mugabe and his cronies) . That's got to be good for Caledonia, which trades on a current P/E of around 5 with net cash and big expansion in the future

[stoneme] 21/11/2017 18:46

This looked a great investment even before this news. . . Whilst potentially unsettling for a time, this can only be good news!

[temmujin] 19/11/2017 12:50

although i think VAST resources is the better buy if they can get their Maranga mine back
