  • St Barbara (ASX:SBM) Shares Surge on Nova Scotia Project Study, Valuation Split Evident
    January 25, 2026, 5:57 AM EST. St Barbara (ASX:SBM) has risen sharply, gaining 8.45% in one day and 38.74% over seven days, following the completion of a Pre Feasibility Study for its 15 Mile Processing Hub Project in Nova Scotia. Despite recent losses of A$54.6 million, the company shows promise with forecasted 23.7% annual revenue growth and potential profitability within three years. The stock trades at A$0.77, above a projected fair price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 1x, yet below the Australian metals and mining sector's average P/S of 144.6x. Valuations diverge sharply; a discounted cash flow (DCF) model suggests shares are undervalued by approximately 87% against a fair value of A$5.89. Investors face risks including operations at the Simberi mine in Papua New Guinea, but strong longer-term total shareholder returns provide context for the recent price momentum.
