Gresham Mining & Infrastructure Services Quarterly We are pleased to present Edition 28 of the Gresham Mining & Infrastructure Services Quarterly (GMISQ), a snapshot of the performance, news and trends across the resources and infrastructure services sectors. The final quarter of 2020 saw a continued broad based share price recovery across the sector. The Gresham Mining & Infrastructure Services Index (GMISI) increased by 20% over the period, outpacing the 14% improvement in the All Ordinaries Index. Of the 50 GMISI constituents, 41 recorded share price increases, including 6 companies that gained more than 50%. Earnings multiples ticked up during the quarter, with the sector’s median PE ratio of 14.2x above its long term average, but still well below the broader market multiple. The observed strengthening of share prices and multiples reflects the industry’s improved earnings outlook, with analysts currently forecasting median annual EBITDA growth of 13% through to FY22. This is consistent with a range of new contract awards and renewals in recent months in both mining and infrastructure, and across construction and operations. Corporate activity has ramped up, led by the continued evolution of the contracting mining landscape with CIMIC’s sale of 50% of Thiess to Elliott and Maca’s purchase of Downer’s Mining West business. Other notable transactions included the IPOs of GenusPlus and Duratec in November. In this edition’s Quarterly Focus we also recap the equity market rollercoaster ride throughout 2020. After a promising start, valuations across the sector dropped significantly over February and March amidst uncertainty regarding the potential impact of COVID-19. Since that time, the GMISI has rebounded strongly, driven by a combination of the strong domestic response to the pandemic, improving commodity prices and government stimulus, including fast-tracked infrastructure projects.
