<Research>CCBI Downgrades ZHAOJIN MINING (01818.HK) to Neutral, Adds TP to $14.1 CCBI commented in a report that ZHAOJIN MINING (01818.HK) is currently trading at an expensive valuation of 22.6x P/E, 2.9x P/B and 11.4x EV/EBITDA based on the broker's 2025 results forecast.
As they are close to the average of 25x P/E, 2.5x P/B and 12x EV/EBITDA over the past 5 years, the broker elevated ZHAOJIN's target price from $12.9 to $14.1, but downgraded its rating from Outperform to Neutral since the potential upside is only 3%.
The broker also cut its profit forecasts for ZHAOJIN by 36% and 19% for 2024/25 respectively, and its profit for 2024 and 2025 is expected to hike by 46% and 106% YoY to RMB1 billion and RMB2.1 billion respectively.

According to CCBI, ZHAOJIN expected its total self-produced gold output for this year at 13.2 tonnes,
3% lower than last year and 6% lower than the broker's forecast. The broker predicted the company's total self-produced gold to rise by 55% YoY to 20.4 tonnes in 2025, following the ramp-up of production at the Xiadian and Dayingezhuang projects and the commissioning of the Haiyu Gold Mine.
The broker increased its unit cost of production forecasts by 25% for 2024 and 27% for 2025, reflecting continued cost pressures at the low-cost Haiyu Gold Mine until production reaches its design limit in 2027 or 2028.
