  • Teck Resources Shares Rise 50% But DCF Model Indicates Overvaluation
    June 28, 2026, 6:05 PM EDT. Teck Resources Ltd (TSX:TECK.B) shares gained about 50% over the past year, closing recently at CAD 82.66. Despite strong returns, the stock fell around 7% last week and 9.6% last month, reflecting short-term volatility amid commodity market dynamics. A Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis, which estimates the present value of projected future cash flows, values the stock at CAD 67.66, indicating it trades roughly 22% above intrinsic value and may be overvalued. The company reported a negative free cash flow of CAD 2.2 billion for the latest 12 months but forecasts positive free cash flow by 2030. Investors should weigh these signals carefully given Teck's pivotal role in commodities and ongoing portfolio changes.
