Semirara... again

I can't seem to read enough good news on SCC, Semirara Mining, and most brokers can't seem to as well. With earnings growth exceeding 110 percent in 2010, it's no wonder SCC has gotten a lot of attention. One undeniable fact about this company is that it has a play in two of sectors that is seen by many to drive the index this year, power and commodities. With its recent inclusion in the FTSE Asia- Pacific Index, along with parent company DMC, the company is poised to grab more attention from foreign brokers.

Here's what some brokers having been saying about SCC

ATR Kim Eng - "SCC is NOT RATED at the moment, but our initiating coverage report is
underway."

COL - "Although FY10 earnings were in line, we will be reviewing our forecasts in light of the higher than expected net coal production and the recent increase in coal prices. Given that the company is a net beneficiary of higher coal prices, this could lead to a potential upgrade in our FV estimate." Mind you, COL is still rating SCC as a "BUY", meaning an upside of at least 15 percent in the next 6-12 months

Abacus - "Our sum-of-the-approach methodology yields an NAV estimate of P300.00/sh for SCC"

My personal opinion is very similar, although a bit more optimistic. With earnings growth forecast-ed to almost increase by 75 percent from 4 to 7 Billion pesos in 2011. It is no surprise that I see SCC having a huge upside. Maybe not as optimistic as the 300/sh but better than most brokers. At this price 2011, earnings would net a P/E ratio of less than 12. A very good number in comparison to other commodities and power play.
