Denison Mines Corp. (AMEX: DNN) Denison Mines Corp., together with its subsidiaries, engages in the acquisition, exploration, development, mining, and production of uranium, and precious and base metal properties in the United States, Canada, and Mongolia. The company's business also includes recycling and selling uranium bearing waste materials; and producing vanadium as a co-product.
Because the earnings of DNN are not available, the Price to Sales and Price to Book ratios are the most appropriate valuation measures. However, their Price to Book is 1.6136, among the lowest in the industry.
Last week, Denison experienced a nice price movement (almost 8%) with above average volume, a bullish indicator.
BHP Billiton Limited (NYSE: BHP) BHP Billiton Limited is a diversified resources group. The Company is a producer of energy-related products, such as energy coal, oil, gas, liquefied natural gas and uranium. The company was founded in 1860 and is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia.
Because BHP is in the Metal Mining industry and has positive earnings, the PE and Price to Book ratios are the most appropriate valuation measures. The Price to Sales ratio is less instructive than the PE since the company has positive earnings.
Therefore BHP seems expensive with a PE value of 15.0485, above the Metal Mining industry median PE of 12.97.
BHP is one of the more profitable companies in the Metal Mining industry. Its operating margin is among the strongest of any peer while the gross and net margin are above the industry medians.
Uranium Resources Inc. (Nasdaq: URRE) Uranium Resources Inc., together with its subsidiaries, engages in the acquisition, exploration, development, and mining of uranium properties, using the in situ recovery or solution mining process. The company was founded in 1977 and is based in Lewisville, Texas.
URRE is doing an acceptable job in comparison to it's peers with a Return on Assets, Return on Equity, and Revenues Per Employee of (1.24%), (1.56%), and $213,429.80 respectively. Despite above average performance at generating revenues from employees, the company is below average at managing their resources and is average at managing their owner's equity compared to other companies in the Metal Mining industry.
However, URRE has little or no debt and, thus, little financial risk.
Allegheny Tech Inc. (NYSE: ATI) Allegheny Technologies Incorporated, through its subsidiaries, engages in the production and sale of specialty metals worldwide. The company was founded in 1960 and is based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Based on its gross margin, operating margin, and net margin, ATI converts a larger percentage of its revenues to profits than most other companies in the Iron & Steel industry. Furthermore, the company is profitable with an operating margin of 21.14%.
Earnings growth at ATI outpaced revenue growth over the trailing twelve months. This is a trend that is not sustainable if profits are to continue to grow at this rate. However, this result was better than that of the average company in the Iron & Steel industry where earnings fell over the period.
