What to look at in Basic Materials
Miners, chemicals, steel. 100% commodity-driven. Analysing them with pure P/E is a mistake — look at cost position and dividend sustainability.
- FCF yield — In commodities FCF is gold — EPS is very misleading
- Gross margin — 5y consistent gross margin = moat signal
- Net debt / EBITDA (trough) — Use EBITDA from the worst year of the cycle, not the current one
- Dividend coverage — Dividend covered by FCF in an average year, not at peak
- Capex / D&A — >1x = maintain/grow reserves. <0.7x = decapitalising
- Altman Z-Score — Bankruptcy model (NYU 1968) — combines liquidity, leverage and profitability. Key in cyclicals
- P/B across cycles — Commodities: 0.8-1.2x at troughs, 2x+ at peaks. <2x still reasonable zone
