AEM share price (SGX: AWX) to rocket to $8.30?

LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP Hurry! The train is leaving! What a swashbuckling return in form for AEM share price (SGX: AWX). Following the release of the 3^rd quarter business update on 10 November, the counter surged 4.5% the next trading day. As of 12 November, AEM share price (SGX: AWX) rocketed 9% to hit a record high of $4.78. Can anything stop AEM share price (SGX: AWX)?

Although net profit for 9MFY2021 plummeted 33.4% to $53 million, the latest business update revealed a glowing outlook for AEM share (SGX: AWX).

In the business update, the management raised the full-year revenue guidance to between $525 million and $550 million. For AEM to meet this revenue guidance, the Group needs to achieve about $200 million in the 4^th quarter. The management has a strong track record of meeting its revenue guidance, so I am confident that AEM is able to meet this target. However, the key sentence in the business update that could turbocharge AEM share price (SGX: AWX) is “the Group expects the ramp to continue through 4Q2021 and into FY2022”.

Based on the above statement, AEM should be raking in about $200 million of revenue in each quarter of FY2022 due to the volume ramp of their test platforms to key customer, Intel. Assuming net profit margin of 16%, the full-year net profit for FY2022 could be $128 million. This will translate to earning per share of $0.42. Attaching a PE ratio of 20, the forward AEM share price (SGX: AWX) could be $8.30.

Given that AEM share price (SGX: AWX) is being traded at $4.38 at the point of writing, it would take a leap of faith for this counter to reach $8.30. Then again, AEM share price (SGX: AWX) does not follow the script. The counter is capable of self-imploding. Yet on its day, it can be invincible. In the previous quarter, AEM share price (SGX: AWX) should have crashed following the release of a set of subpar results. But the management turned the table by announcing the entry of Temasek Holdings as one of its largest shareholders.
