EQ Resources has clear momentum and a growing operating footprint, from Mt Carbine tungsten to EQR Equatoroses. After such a sharp move, does the current A$0.41 share price still reflect fair value?

Most Popular Narrative: 64% Overvalued

The most followed narrative currently pegs EQ Resources at a fair value of A$0.25 per share, which sits below the latest A$0.41 close. That gap is framed around tight tungsten supply, rising demand and limited new projects feeding into long term pricing assumptions.

I think with Tungsten prices having surged dramatically, and reports indicating a ~600% increase over the past 12 months, driven by increased restrictions. And on top of that the global tungsten market being valued at approximately US$16 billion, which is roughly 5% of the copper market, then you add in the demand required for defense & Technology, aerospace & electronics and Semiconductors & chips, coupled with the lack of new mines over the past 40 years, the valuation is very promising for the next 3, 5 or 10 years time.

Want to understand why this narrative still lands below A$0.41 even with aggressive tungsten assumptions and tight supply baked in? The key inputs sit inside forecast revenue expansion, margin reset and the price levels these assumptions rely on. Curious how those moving parts connect to a single A$0.25 figure and a specific discount rate. The full narrative lays out the playbook in detail without leaving the numbers to guesswork.

Result: Fair Value of A$0.25 (OVERVALUED)

However, EQ Resources still faces risks if tungsten prices ease from current levels, or if new supply projects progress faster than this tight market narrative assumes.
