Introduction Market Data Compact

Falconbridge - (SI quotes enter T.FL) ( market cap $ 3.6 billion )is a large International base metals mining company that primarily produces Nickel and Copper. It is traded on Toronto and Montreal. It has 177,000,000 shares issued. The company is owned 49% by Noranda and Noranda has declared that they will buy up the remainder of the company on the open markets in an orderly fashion through gradual accumulation of the shares. Falconbridge is enjoying a resurgence of profitablity in the last two quarters ( ending Sept 30/99 ). The earnings were $30 million and $36.6 million respectively in the two quarters. Surging Nickel prices and stronger Copper prices have contributed to this turnaround. I forecast that $ 60 million will be achieved in the next Quarter ending Dec 31/99. The price of this stock is underperforming at this time and is due for appreciation. I would speculate that the current price of $ 22 will ratchet up to $ 30 by the first of the new year, particularily in light of the fact that available shares are being eaten up by Noranda and the continued healthy prospects for the price of nickel. In passing, it is worth noting that FL owns 45 % of the huge new Collahuasi copper mine in Chile which is the fourth largest copper mine in the world. Its partner is Minorco. This mine contributed $ 16,000,000 to FL profitability in the last quarter alone. The recovery in Asia bodes well for the demand of nickel and hence the strength of the price of Nickel. It is worth noting that in this past quarter Falconbridge has earned .16/share vs. Inco's .04/share and yet lags Incos (N) share price by $ 8/share. ( 22 vs. 30)
I maintain that this company is presently undervalued in light of the above items and represents a buying opportunity now. ALL discussion is invited.
