Analysis Accuracy
AEM's deterministic health score is concerning with a Piotroski F-Score of 4/9, indicating marginal financial stability, while the absence of an Altman Z-Score limits distress risk assessment. Despite strong profitability metrics—ROE of 15.67%, gross margin of 70.24%, and robust earnings growth of 85.8% YoY—the stock trades at a premium valuation (P/E 31.23 vs sector avg 25.89) above both the Graham Number ($85.07) and intrinsic value estimate ($202.66). Strong recent price performance (+145% 1Y) and analyst buy recommendation are counterbalanced by weak technical trend (10/100) and limited insider sentiment (40/100). The balance between operational strength and valuation concerns leads to a neutral stance.
Key Strengths
Exceptional profitability with gross margin of 70.24% and operating margin of 53.10%, well above sector averages
Strong earnings growth: 85.8% YoY and 86% Q/Q, supported by consistent earnings beat streak (3 of last 4 quarters)
Very low leverage: Debt/Equity ratio of just 0.01, indicating conservative capital structure
High return on equity (15.67%) in a capital-intensive sector, signaling efficient use of equity
Analyst consensus supports upside with a 'buy' rating and target price of $209.55 near current levels
Key Risks
Low Piotroski F-Score of 4/9 suggests weak financial health, particularly in earnings quality and leverage trends
Valuation premium: Current price ($214.54) exceeds both Graham Number ($85.07) and intrinsic value ($202.66)
Weak technical trend score of 10/100 indicates deteriorating price momentum near 52-week high
Missing key financial data (EV, shares outstanding, cash/debt figures) limits full health assessment
Dividend strength is weak at 25/100 despite low payout ratio, suggesting limited income appeal
