WOOD Flash – KAZ Minerals: 2018E guidance confirmed, strong production of gold and silver

KAZ Minerals has released its 1Q18 trading update and confirmed its FY18E guidance for all metals. We believe these results are supportive of our BUY rating on KAZ Minerals. Its growth plans remain on track and we expect KAZ to deliver c.40% growth in copper output from 2017-22E. The growth is from low-risk, brownfield development, which should be fully funded from KAZ’s own FCF. With further deleveraging expected in the next few years and c.40% growth in copper output, we believe KAZ’s 2018/19E EV/EBITDA multiples of 5-6x are too cheap, given its proven track record in recent years.
