Assessing Mongolian Mining (SEHK:975) Valuation After Weaker 2025 Earnings And Margin Compression

Full year 2025 earnings reset expectations for Mongolian Mining

Mongolian Mining (SEHK:975) has come under the spotlight after releasing full year 2025 results, with sales of US$823.4 million and net income of US$6.1 million, both below the prior year’s levels.

See our latest analysis for Mongolian Mining.

The weak 2025 earnings release appears to have added pressure to a share price that already had a 30 day share price return of a 17.41% decline, although longer term total shareholder returns remain very strong, including a five year total shareholder return of more than 4x.

With earnings compressed and the share price pulling back, yet multi year returns still very strong, the key question now is whether Mongolian Mining is trading at a discount, or if the market is already pricing in future growth?

Preferred Price-to-Sales Multiple of 1.7x: Is it justified?

On the latest numbers, Mongolian Mining trades on a P/S of 1.7x, which sits above both its Hong Kong Metals and Mining sector and direct peer averages.

The P/S ratio compares the company’s HK$10.39 share price to its US$823.4 million in revenue, giving a sense of how much investors are paying for each dollar of sales. For a cyclical, commodity linked business, this often reflects how the market views the quality, sustainability and volatility of those revenues rather than just their size.

In this case, Mongolian Mining’s 1.7x P/S is more than double the Hong Kong Metals and Mining industry average of 0.8x and also above the peer average of 1.2x. With profit margins at 0.7%, down from 22.3% a year earlier and recent earnings affected by a large one off loss of US$25.0 million, the current premium P/S appears expensive relative to both the sector and peers.

Result: Price-to-Sales of 1.7x (OVERVALUED)

However, there are risks here, including pressured 0.7% margins after a US$25.0 million one off loss, as well as exposure to coking coal demand in China.

Another View: DCF points to a different story

While the 1.7x P/S ratio suggests Mongolian Mining is expensive versus sector and peers, the SWS DCF model goes further. At HK$10.39, the shares sit well above an estimated DCF value of HK$1.89, which implies a very large premium. Is the market overestimating future cash flows, or is the model too cautious?
