wondering what you think about yngff’s results today? production lower than expected it seems – but winter harsher than expected.
I think this was expected due to bad weather. This is a turnaround and things are not likely to go smoothly. On a long term basis, the company is still on track for large production growth and cash flow generation. Their strategic position, increase in production, and acquirer of mines hasn’t changed. I think you have to wait until late this year and early next year to see if management delivers on its plans (increase production, acquire assets, and make the mines weather proof). It will be a bumpy ride but if you believe management can deliver than it will be worth it.
