Siemens Energy - Analysts see 40% upside potential

Siemens Energy was created through a spin-off from Siemens AG last year. Since the IPO on September 28, 2020, the parent company still owns 35.1%, and Siemens Pension-Trust e.V. still owns 9.9% of the spin-off. The first traded price was EUR 22.01; currently, the shares are trading at around EUR 25.50. The DAX-listed Group is thus valued at EUR 18.6 billion. Since the IPO, the shares have traded in a range of EUR 18.37 to EUR 34.49.

Siemens Energy is active worldwide along almost the entire energy value chain and employs around 91,000 people. Its product range includes gas turbines, steam turbines, generators, transformers and compressors. With a 67% stake in Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, Siemens Energy is also one of the global market leaders in the renewable energy sector. Siemens Gamesa is one of the largest wind power producers globally and recently reported a jump in profits.

The list of Siemens Energy's strategic initiatives and cooperation is immensely long and includes Salzgitter, RWE, Uniper and the Japanese Mitsubishi Group. The Company is still in the red. But already in the next fiscal year, according to analyst consensus, the Company will generate sales of EUR 30.2 billion and make a profit. The 2022 P/E ratio is currently 32, which is a high value, but it will drop noticeably in subsequent years. Experts forecast a net cash position of EUR 3 billion for the coming fiscal year. On average, analysts attest the stock an upside of a good 40% to EUR 36.

QMINES LIMITED - Significantly undervalued compared to competitors

At the beginning of May, QMines, the Australian-based exploration company, made its stock market debut on the ASX for AUD 0.30 per share. Its flagship project is Mount Chalmers, a high-grade historic copper and gold mine. The project has an existing resource and several high-priority exploration targets that offer significant growth potential. The Company has planned an aggressive exploration program to test a number of these targets, increase the existing resource, and enhance shareholder value. In addition, the Company owns three other projects.

At the end of May, the Company published excellent drill results on the main Mount Chalmers project. In total, the first test bores were carried out over almost 1,600m. Maximum values ​​of 13.4% copper, 6.1 g/t gold and 31 g/t silver were found. Further drilling over 3,000m was started. The share price subsequently jumped significantly but is currently back within sight of the IPO price of AUD 0.30 at AUD 0.34. The good drilling results increase the probability that the official resource estimates will be significantly higher in the medium term. With a market capitalization of AUD 38 million, the stock is not expensive, given the potential. Analysts believe that the stock is significantly undervalued compared to its competitors and believe that the shares have a potential upside of around 50%!
