ESEF annual reports carry no quarters: the results are annual (below).
E/P over time
E/P = trailing-12-month diluted EPS / price at quarter end. E/P is the inverse of P/E and stays defined when earnings are negative.
Today's P/E sits at the 67 percentile of its own 3-quarter history (min 3.1, median 7.2, max 190.5; quarters with earnings only).

Memo
BUENAVENTURA MINING CO INC (BVN). Latest full fiscal year: 2024; data up to 2024-12-31.
Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 1.2 bn USD in 2024; YoY growth 40.1%; net margin 34.9%; ROE 12.6%.
The estimated value range is 19.26–39.06 USD per share (median of 1 methods, agreement: single method); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 23.32 USD, the price of 28.80 USD leaves a potential of -19.0% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of -23.5% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.
Insufficient data for a verdict (score weight coverage: 50.0% of at least 60%).
Text generated deterministically from the figures shown; no language model. Not investment advice.
What supports the thesis
- Net margin: 34.9%
- Revenue CAGR 3Y: 8.6%
- Interest coverage: 6.8x
- Current ratio: 1.7x
What contradicts it
- FCF conversion: 36.8%
- FCF yield: 2.0%
