A leading broker has put their weight behind the 29Metals Ltd (ASX: 29M) share price to outperform this year.
According to a recent note from Morgan Stanley, shares in the miner are poised to rise.
Let's take a look at what analysts had to say about the 29Metals share price.
29Metals share price offering 'compelling value'
Analysts at noted broker Morgan Stanley have lauded the potential latent in the 29Metals share price.
An article published in the Australian Financial Review earlier today elaborated on the note published by the broker.
According to the article, Morgan Stanley expects the 29Metals share price to rise sharply this year. Analysts from the broker noted that they perceive 'compelling value' in the share price of the copper miner.
The broker noted that 29Metals was in a tier 1 jurisdiction with plenty of room for diversification. Analysts cited the company's Capricorn Copper and Golden Grove producing assets.
For 2022, analysts expect 58% of revenue from 29Metals to be generated from copper mining. Zinc (24%), lead (27%) and precious metals (16%) are expected to also contribute to the company's bottom line.
Analyst cited that the significant diversification in revenue generation has 29Metals poised for further growth.
In the article, an analyst from the broker stated;
"Although we acknowledge that 29Metal's assets are old and high on cost, there is still significant margin to the current copper price and plans outlined by management indicate significant potential for low capex brownfield production growth if the asset strategy can be delivered, in-turn improving C1 costs from $US1.82 a pound in CY21 to $US0.94 a pound in CY25,".
Analysts acknowledged that there were risks around mining rates and life-of-mine plans. However, the broker noted that risk-reward was favourable for the 29Metlas share price.
Morgan Stanley initiated coverage on 29Metals with an outperform rating for the company and a share price target of $3.10. At that target price, the company would be worth $1.49 billion.
