Whitehaven Coal  (OTCPK:WHITF) PB Ratio Explanation

Unlike valuation ratios relative to the earning power such as PE Ratio, PE Ratio without NRI, PS Ratio, Price-to-Operating-Cash-Flow , or Price-to-Free-Cash-Flow, the PB Ratio measures the valuation of the stock relative to the underlying asset of the company.

The PB Ratio works the best for the businesses that earn most of their profit from their assets, e.g. banks and insurance companies.


Be Aware

Some businesses have very light assets, such as software companies or insurance agencies. The PB Ratio does not work well for these companies. Some companies even have negative equity, so the PB Ratio cannot be applied to them.

Traded in Other Exchanges
Address
259 George Street, Level 28, Sydney, NSW, AUS, 2000
Whitehaven Coal is a large Australian independent thermal and semisoft metallurgical coal miner with mines in the Gunnedah Basin, New South Wales. It also owns the large Vickery and Winchester South deposits in New South Wales and Queensland, respectively. Coal is railed to ports in Newcastle for export to Asian customers. It has agreed to buy Blackwater and Daunia, two coking coal mines in Queensland, from BHP and Mitsubishi, effective mid-2024. Along with expanded production at Maules Creek and Narrabri, this should see its share of salable coal production approach 36 million metric tons from fiscal 2028, from about 13 million in fiscal 2023. Development of Vickery could see around 7 million metric tons of extra equity production, with first output likely from about 2025 in our view.
