AEM share price (SGX: AWX) in whirlwind!
On 5th of May 2022, Dow Jones crashed 1063 points amid concerns of recession and surging global inflations. The following day, the Straits Times Index (STI) suffered a rout. In the sea of red, the bullish form of AEM share price stood out. At one point, AEM share price surged 2.5%, making it the top gainer in SGX.

If the Group could perform like this for the subsequent quarters, then full-year net profit may possibly hit $160 million. If so, then EPS would be $0.516. Assuming we assign a forward PE of 15, then the target AEM share price would be [This is a premium article. The rest of the content is blocked and can be accessible by SG Wealth Builder Members only.
